"DOGS
OF THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS AT THE
BRITISH MUSEUM (NATURAL HISTORY)"
by K. Dennis-Bryan and J. Clutton-Brock.
1st
(and I believe, ONLY) paperback edition of this difficult to find
book, published by the British Museum (NH) in 1988.
In Very Good, clean condition!
86
color and B&W photos of taxidermy dogs from the British
Museum's collection, mostly Victorian and Edwardian era, PLUS
photos of
pedigrees
and a forward written by a then Chairman of Crufts, Sir Dudley
Forwood.
Many
of the dog's registered names and championships are noted, which
is interesting for those who research pedigrees back that far.
Two famous racing greyhounds are pictured, Mick the Miller and
Fullerton.
