A fascinating collection of antique daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, and carte de visites has been put together showing dogs and their owners from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Antique dealer Anthony Cavo has amassed an enormous catalog of old photographs and put them together for a new bookThe photos were taken from approximately 1840 to 1930 and offer a wide display of both candid and formal studio poses.
“One day in 1963, among the piles of horsehair-stuffed Victorian chairs, marble-topped furniture, pier mirrors, and primitive furniture, I found a wooden box, its exterior stenciled in black: ‘From G. Cramer Dry Plate Co., St. Louis, MO,’” he explains. “By the time I finished digging through the box and examining every image, I was hooked, a photoholic; I had to have them. I wanted them all, but, as a kid, I had only enough money to buy a few. I carefully selected and paid for my photos, then went out to the barnyard to examine them in full sunlight.”
“My parents surprised me with the wooden box and its mysterious contents. I spread the photos out on our dining room table and began to examine each one with a magnifying glass, calling out to my parents and siblings each time I found something interesting,” he says.
