C. M. Coolidge’s Boston Terrier

I'm a bad dog. What kind of dog are you?

I found this hand-colored photogravure c. 1895 in the Library of Congress archives today. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was done by C.M. Coolidge of the famous dogs playing poker series. Definitive proof he was more than a kitschy ad man. This little guy is fantastic!

Here is a great article on the life and art of C. M. Coolidge by Melanie Light.
