Poor Puppy!

I am always on the lookout for interesting images to use in my (expanding) collection of historic reproductions.  I recently came across a couple of postcards published in 1909 by renowned postcard printer Raphael Tuck and Sons of London.

The company was known for commissioning artists to produce images which they then printed and sold as postcards.  Unfortunately, like many other postcard printers and manufacturers of their time, the history, records, original paintings and postcards of Raphael Tuck & Sons were destroyed during the bombing blitz of London during World War II.

I purchased these two from different sellers, but this puppy looks like the same character.  Likely it was drawn by the same artist.  The first was sold as a "humourous postcard" with the caption "Some Sport".  The second does not have an inscription.

Either of these images can be reproduced on our products, including Party Plates, Glass Cutting Boards, Bamboo Tea Chests, Trivets, Journals, Clocks, Wire Baskets and Towel Racks.
