EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1911, a patient Pomeranian pooch sits regally on a folding chair at the Ealing and District Canine Society dog show. The little canine, adorned with an intricate collar and a neatly groomed coat, is being perfumed by a young girl wearing a fashionable Edwardian hat and a long, flowing dress. The lady, with a determined expression on her face, expertly sprays the fragrant perfume towards the dog, ensuring an even coating. The scene takes place inside a large, white tent, filled with the excited chatter and anticipation of the contestants and their owners. The air is thick with the scent of various perfumes, as the probable prizewinners are being prepared for the judging. The girl's mother, also dressed in elegant Edwardian attire, brushes the dog's coat, making sure it is perfect for the big moment. The use of perfume in dog shows was a common practice during the Edwardian era, as it was believed that a pleasant scent would make the dogs more appealing to the judges. The perfuming process was an essential part of the dog show experience, adding an extra layer of glamour and sophistication to the event. This charming photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and attention to detail that were integral parts of Edwardian society. The patient Pomeranian, with its proud demeanor and the girl's diligent perfuming, are a testament to the love and dedication that dog owners had for their pets during that era.
