Two books that should be in every dog book collection are the National Geographic Society's Book of Dogs. The first one was published in 1919 and the next in 1958. They are magnificent tributes to canine literature. They are tops in writing, photos and illustrations. Below you will find sample illustrations from both volumes.
This illustration and the following two are from the 1919 National Geographic Book of Dogs. It features the magnificent work of artist Louis Agassiz Fuertes.
For the 1958 and later editions of the National Geographic's Book of Dogs, renamed, Man's Best Friend, the Society enlisted the talent of Edwin Megargee.
