Dogs of All Nations: A Representative Collection of All Known Breeds of Dogs at The Panama-Pacific International Exposition, 1915 - W. E. Mason

While nowadays canine fever is all the rage in society and culture, there was a time that dog breeding and dogs shows were an elite and exclusive activity. Vertvolta Press is proud to present this 104 year-old catalog to a new generation of dog-lovers, full of delightfully arcane and obsessive descriptions and articles of what a breed 'should' be. But in our more enlightened era we know two things: 1) mutts are cool too, and 2) they're all good doggos! A complete work, profusely illustrated, bearing on the world's different varieties of the dog, grouping under their several nationalities, with descriptive matter explaining the characteristics and utility of each.
