Two collies sit side by side, one wearing a blue rosette, the kind of ribbon awarded at dog shows and agricultural fairs in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The chains draped near them suggest they were kept as working or show animals, and collies of this era were prized as herding dogs on farms and in the countryside. Pictures like this one often served as keepsakes for owners proud of a prize-winning animal, and they offer a useful window into how breeders presented their dogs.
