A wonderful visual history of our enduring relationship with dogs, The Dog Observed: Photographs 1844–1983 edited by Ruth Silverman brings together more than a century of remarkable images capturing dogs in all their personalities, poses, and relationships with people. From early photographic processes of the nineteenth century through the modern era, this beautifully curated collection celebrates the humor, loyalty, companionship, and character of dogs as seen through the lenses of many photographers.

This hardcover edition contains 165 pages and measures approximately 9.25 x 9.75 inches. The original dust jacket is present. The dust jacket shows significant age-related wear, and the image from the jacket has been transferred onto the hardcover beneath.
