A collection of 70 humorous portraits, beginning with an 18th- or 19th-century-style ancestral portrait. Poncelet paints a dog's head over that of the original human subject and the result looks uncannily real. Humorist Bruce McCall has named each dog and offered biographical sketches.
Sit!, the perfect gift for everyone who thinks that dogs are people too, now begins a new life in paperback. Renamed REMEMBERANCE OF DOGS PAST, this fetching collection of 70 disarmingly funny portraits is a fresh and funny as ever. Beginning with an 18th- or 19th-century ancestral portrait, Thierry Poncelet seamlessly paints in a dog's head over the original human subject's. The resulting tour de force is a fantasy that looks uncannily real, the dogs appearing all too human in their military regalia or elaborate gowns. And for a glorious twist, New Yorker humorist Bruce McCall names each dog and offers a brilliant tongue-in-cheek biographical sketch. Thus there's Lord Gristle (black labrador), proprietor of a vast tabloid chain, with dark memories of rolled-up newspapers; Marie-Claire DuBossy (white poodle), who shocked France's poetry circles by refusing to beg; and Percival Horace Denbeigh (Jack Russell terrier), Britain's foremost military correspondent, with an infallible nose for news. It's a howl.
