Todas las páginas están en perfecto estado, sin arrugas ni roturas y no falta ninguna. El texto no está subrayado ni resaltado de forma alguna, y no hay anotaciones en los márgenes. Puede presentar marcas de identificación mínimas en la contraportada o las guardas. Muy poco usado.

Synopsis
"Look at people and their pets today. Pets tell something about their owners, whether they are bought to make a fashion statement, as child substitutes or as an expression of unconditional love between two sentient beings." So remarked Robin Gibson, the author of this book, on its first publication in 1998. "It is about the various animals that appear in portraits in the National Portrait Gallery, but it is also about the owners of the animals who commissioned the portraits. The association of the subject or indeed the artist of a portrait with a pet immediately adds a further dimension to our understanding of the characterization. From the little terrier that records Lady Caroline Lamb's first extramarital affair to Queen Victoria's dogs, photographed with her Ghillie John Brown; from the extraordinary images of ballet dancer Anna Pavlova and her pet swan to the writer Edith Sitwell and her favorite cat, this book charts the British love affair with the domestic pet. For this new edition, the naturalist, photographer and television presenter Chris Packham has contributed an introduction with additional portraits from the Gallery's collections. Amusing and surprising, this delightful book provides unusual insights into the bond between sitters and their faithful companions., 'Look at people and their pets today. Pets tell something about their owners, whether they are bought to make a fashion statement, as child substitutes or as an expression of unconditional love between two sentient beings.' So remarked Robin G ibson, the author of this book , on its first publication in 1998. 'It i s about the various animals that appear in portraits in the National Portrait Gallery, but it is also about the owners of the animals w ho commissioned the portraits. The association of the subject or indeed the artist of a po rtrait with an identifiable pet immediately adds a further dimension to our understanding of the characterisation. ' For example, in a self - portrait by Hogarth there is a pug - probably painted over by the artist and visible only under X - ray - relieving itself on a pile of old master paintings. 'A succinct comment,' Gibson writes , 'on those collectors who preferred second - rate foreign imports to contemporary work s by British artists. ' From the Elizabethan soldier and diplomat Sir Henry Unton to the children of King Charles I; from the little terrier that records Lady Caroline Lamb's first extra - marital affair to Queen Victoria's dogs, photographed with her Ghillie John Brown; from the extraordinary images of ballet dancer Anna Pavlova and her pet swan to the poet and critic Edith Sitwell and her favourite cat, this book charts the British love - affair with the domestic pet. F or this new edition , the naturalist, pho tographer and television presenter Chris Packham has contributed an introductory text that features additional portraits from the Gallery's collections . Amusing and often surprising, this delightful book provides some unusual insight s into the special bond between sitters and their faithful companions.

    Typically bungling performance from Evri (Hermes): the package was said to be ‘out for delivery’ on 2 September, but it did not arrive until 8 September, after I had expended much effort in trying to find out what had happened to it. In contrast, top marks for the seller: accurate description, excellent packaging, prompt transport from USA (until Evri got its hands on the package), and good-natured support when I explained the problems I was having with the notoriously inefficient delivery firm.

    Shipping was insanely fast! Packaging super tough! Came as described and beyond the value. One of my new favorite additions to my books.
