Glossy Dogs from Phaidon

World famous Phaidon Press releases a new photobook devoted to the Dog.
With the current crop of coffee table Dog books tending to be more along the lines of studio shot wonder mutts or retouched moody pooch portraits – it is refreshing to have a new title that mines gems from turn of the century photographs. This book was compiled by National Arts Club – Photographic Chair Catherine Johnson and is made up of predominantly anonymous snap shots and family photos. But throughout each shot there is a common thread of the love shared between man and his best friend. Ranging from the humorous to tear jerking each of these seemingly mundane shots have a glimmer of sophisticated insight into the relationship we have with our dogs. This book is newly available from Phaidon directly for £9.95.
