Mrs. Malcolm Strauss & "Beaux Attos" [i.e., Athos] (LOC)

    From the New York Times: DOG SHOW AT PRINCETON.; Mrs. Malcolm Straus's Beau Athos a Winner in French Bulldog Class. December 15, 1912 Link

    Another Bain/LOC photo from a dog show:
  • Art Siegel said:
    A bunch of Bain dog show pictures of socialites and their dogs appear to be taken at the same location, which is likely the roof garden of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks to all for their comments. While the New York Times is often a fairly reliable source for the spelling of a name, the December 15, 1912 article mentioned in several comments includes misspellings. It is identified as 'Special to the New York Times', and so may have been provided by a visiting correspondent - and not well fact-checked. This photograph shows Mrs. Malcolm Strauss and her prize-winning French Bulldog Beaux Athos. Bain provides the identities as: Mrs. Malcolm Strauss and Beaux Attos, and this Dec 1912 column offers Mrs. Martin Straus and Beau Athos, where both names are incorrect. Numerous other articles in the New York Times reporting results of dog shows in great detail confirm both the name of the owner - and her husband - and her dog. A good authority for the dog's name in particular is the American Kennel Stud Book of 1913, published by the National American Kennel Club. Here he is noted as: Beaux Athos. We will amend the record to include the correct name for the bulldog.

    Vintage portrait!
  • jaeson47 said:
    This woman's dress and hair style and the composition of the portrait look like 1860s to me. Is there a basis for the "ca. 1875" date?
  • Pharaoh Hound said:
    The dog looks rather like an Irish Wolfhound. The massive size fits too.
  • The Casas-Rodríguez Postcard Collection said:
    No doubt, a breathtaking portrait. The proportions of the framing and the solid black background enhance the couple's transcendence. The dog leans with such calmness on the lady's lap and she holds his head between her hands in such a way, that I feel they are true companions.

    She looks so worried. So concerned. Not happy at all. But it is the negative space that make this so powerful to me. Lovely
