Review
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY A pioneer in the filed of professional photography, Bert Morgan (1904-1986) began photographing American high society--the Rockefellers, the Hearsts, the Kennedys--in the 1930s. But, until now, his work has never been collected in book form. "Dog Shows:1930-1949 features page after page of beautiful black-and-whites (from shows in Connecticut, Long Island, New Jersey and Manhattan) and includes rare documentation of, for example, Jacqueline Bouvier (aka Jackie Kennedy) as a toddler, with her family's Great Dane. Together, Morgan's well-preserved candids make up not just a documentary record of the shows but a social history of America's leisure class. TOWN AND COUNTRY "If only I could have been there" is the wish that stirs when viewing lovely images of times and places past. With your first glance at "Dog Shows, you may very well feel this wish has been granted. A collection of duotone photographs taken in the 1930s and '40s by the renowned society chronicler Bert Morgan, the book draws the reader into an enchanted, leisurely world: five-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier proudly clutches a Great Dane's leash at the Long Island kennel Club's annual show; W.A. Harriman stands by with his trio of black Labradors at the Long Island Retriever Trials; a Scottish terrier names Fala sits up and begs for his young master, Prince Harold of Norway. If "Dog Shows can't literally take us back to a vanished era, it is nonetheless a fine passport to remembrance--and a reminder that a dog's life can be pretty swell, after all.
