ABOUT THE ARTIST:
When the illustrator George Studdy (1878–1948) first began including dogs in his work, it would be hard to imagine that he would have foreseen the level of success that one of them would eventually go on to have. His creation, Bonzo, had a massive impact on the world of popular culture and his little dog was loved by both children and adults alike. A defining figure of the twenties and thirties, Bonzo's popularity brought about a new wave of mass-marketed merchandise, and – to this day – his legacy continues to be seen around the world.
