About the cover image: Englishman Ar thur War dle was a r enowned self - taught animal painter during the late 19th century and early 20th century. His keen sense of observation matched his artistic skills, and he became proficient in rendering animal anatomy. He enjoyed great commercial success when, about 1910, Will's Cigarettes commissioned him to paint a series of dog portraits that were reproduced on small cards as premiums in cigarette packages. These cigarette cards, and the ones he subsequently produced for John Play- er & Sons, have been fervently collected by dog lovers throughout this century. Excerpted from articles written by Susan Brown and appearing in the AKC Gazette, September 1997 & De- cember 1998. Text on the back of the card reads as follows: D ANDIE D INMONT T ERRIER .
