Art medals. Art medals are disk-shaped bi-faced sculptures inspired in the Italian Renaissance by ancient coins, and continuously popular since; one subject-category of these medals depicts dogs. Because most medals depicting Poodles appear to have been struck after 1880, we're adding this note to this section. Please click on: Dog medals to see several which honour Poodles (as of January 2005), and explore that site, which is maintained by Emmanuel Van Dorpe, Kortrijk, Belgium, to learn more about this art form.

MacQuoid, Percy, RI, from sketches by Emily Lees. The Misery of Shopping with Women from a Dog's Point of View, five drawings, sub-titled as follows: "1. 'It is only for a few minutes,' she said as she went in, 'so wait quietly, there's a good dog.' But the poodle who was a witness was wiser and winked. [Lady bids farewell to Smooth FT tied onto a ring outside a big shop; stolid SP tied to same ring.] 2. When an hour dragged by, the inexperienced animal became frantic. 'Something has happened to her,' he said wildly to his apathetic friends. 'Ah! yes,' said the poodle, 'I know what happens to women in these shops.' 3. And the poodle did know. This is how the second hour ended--inside. [A gentleman who has forgotten himself so far as to wear his top hat indoors, is forgetting himself further by pouring cream from a jug onto the tablecloth instead of into the adoring lady's teacup.] 4. And this is how it ended--outside [SFT anxiously pulling on chain]. 5. The third hour began to teach him the poodle's philosophy. Still, these things cast a gloom over the life of even the best constituted dog. [SFT dozing resignedly.]" SP is black, wide-chested; wears Imperial moustache and short Continental with shallow bracelets. The Graphic, 7 September 1895, p. 288.

Megargee, Edwin (American, 1883-1958). The Poodle. White Poodle stands on green lawn with white fence in distance, on left, two ladies in Victorian "afternoon" dresses, yellow parasol. For brief biography of Megargee, see Secord, p. 350. Here's a hopeful reference which we have not followed up, but you might wish to do so: Edwin Megargee, Dogs, (NY & London: Harper, 1942). For other Megargee images of Poodles see: Encore Editions as of 3 January 2003: 1936 White Poodle #1, 1936 White Poodle #2, 1937 Two Miniature Poodles, Poodle, Toy Poodle.

Perhaps the most interesting Edwin Megargee image of a Poodle is a Burgermeister brewery (San Francisco, 1956- ) beer card, a Standard Poodle head study; the dog appears to be in a swamp, waterfowl fly in the background. This image is part of a series which includes a matching head-study of a Chessie. A Poodle duck-hunting renaissance in the 1950's was jump-started by Megargee's co-AKC-judge, Standard Poodle fancier Charles LeBoutillier (see Duck dogs -- guns), and we speculate that Megargee supported this when he included a Poodle in this series.

Megargee, Mildred (American, 20th century). Ch Hollycourt Silverado and Ch Belle Isle. Oil on panel, 7 x 9 inches. The Dog Museum, St. Louis. Mildred Megaree was Edwin's sister. Secord, p. 336. See also: Encore Editions as of 3 January 2003.

Robertson's ageing poodle, Mouton, of the St. Jean de Luz breed, had already made an impression in the studio, when he went with his master to Mrs. Robertson's sitting: 'The comic relief of the sittings was supplied by my dog, Mouton, who, well stricken in years and almost toothless, claimed rather unusual privileges and was always allowed one bite by Sargent, whom he unaccountably disliked, before work began. "He has bitten me now", Sargent would remark mildly,"so we can go ahead."'

NB RE Kitsch. Poodle-kitsch (Beanie Baby GiGi!) is beyond the scope of the Poodle History Project; we have enough to do with Rembrandt et al. However, today's kitsch may be tomorrow's folk-art. For example, Staffordshire Poodles; for another example, in February '01 Sotheby's New York offered for sale a (Victorian?) seven-inch-long Britannia-metal cigar-cutter in the form of a Poodle on a raised relief base: insert a cigar in the hole in his back, pull his tail down, and the tip of the cigar is cut off. If you're keen about Poodle-kitsch, here's a guide to get you started: Elaine Butler, Price Guide to Poodle Collectibles Of The 50's & 60's (Book Sales, 1995), 151 pp.

The headpiece of this section is a pair of alabaster pet-portraits (bases 4.5" x 8"), Standard Poodles wearing a version of the historically-correct Continental and "imperial" moustaches. Owned by Tatiana Nagro; found in an antique store in the northeastern USA in spring 2002; our hunch is that they're French or German, and if you have a better idea, please let us know.
