This FRAMED PASTEL DRAWING, measuring nearly 4 feet in length, is entitled SEVEN HOURS IN THE LIFE OF A NURSERY POODLE and is signed and dated JOHN PARRY 1865.
It shows seven images of a TOY POODLE and its demise over a period of seven hours:
12 o''clock - (Just arrived) Perfect Doggie
1 o''clock - Tail-less
2 o''clock - Eye-less
3 o''clock - Nose-less, Leg-less
4 o''clock - Head-less
5 o''clock - Body-less
6 o''clock - Wind-less
The drawing is in its original frame which, like the POODLE, is well-worn. There is a small crack in the glass in the bottom left corner.
A wonderful and unusual example of a VICTORIAN''S humorous view on Christmas and the presents given.
