With the advent of photography in the nineteenth century, this love was immortalised for the first time on film. While the clothing and hairstyles of yesteryear may be very different—and intriguing to the modern eye—in these photos, the evident love between pet and owner is unmistakable, and remains as poignant today as when these images were taken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn avid collector of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century photographs for more than fifty years, Anthony Cavo has amassed an enormous catalogue of antique photography, including hundreds of shots of people and their dogs. From this huge array, he has carefully curated 200 extraordinary pictures. These photos were taken from approximately 1840 to 1930 and offer a wide display of both candid and formal studio poses. Cavo arranges his subjects thematically and combines different photographic formats and images from different eras to create visual interest—whether the mix features a particular breed, a selection of images in shadow, or two images identical in pose but taken decades apart or in vastly different locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn his introduction, Cavo offers a personal overview of this incredible treasury, which provides background on his lifelong experience as a collector and dog lover, as well as touches briefly on photography's birth and various forms in its earliest years. He has gathered not only a fascinating array of facts, history, quotes, and anecdotes about dogs which he sprinkles among these charming and fascinating photographs, but enhances the viewing experience for the reader through pointing out details, such as style trends, that help identify when an image was taken. Here, too, are delightful anecdotes, from kidnapped pups who escaped and found their way home to devoted dogs who saved their owners’ lives. Cavo offers fun insights into the history of our association with pets, information on a range of breeds, and tips about animal care throughout the ages. Here are touching true stories, quotes from famous historical figures, and a cornucopia of miscellaneous trivia, such as:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ea dog’s presence in a household helps build immunity from disease in children\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDalmatians are born without their spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ethe canine is a powerful feng shui symbol of protection and justice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eit’s good luck to have a stray follow you home\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ea dog’s nose prints are as unique as a human’s fingerprints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eand much more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ultimate companion book on humans’ favourite animal companion, \u003cem\u003eLove Immortal\u003c\/em\u003e is essential for all devoted to dogs, animal lovers, those with an interest in photography, and miscellany buffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072304300268,"sku":"9780063204294","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13247043482210.jpg?v=1765093207"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/anthony-cavo.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
