GIRALDA’S LOLA.

Signed Artist’s Presentation Proof by Reuben Ward Binks of the famous Alsatian, Giralda’s Lola and eight puppies amidst straw, commissioned by Mrs Hartley M. Dodge the wife of the CEO of Dodge Motor Corporation. Earlier in her life Lola won many dog competitions. Lady Kitty Ritson, who judged at dog shows during the 1930s, wrote about her in her book, Me and My Dogs: “Dear little 'Lola,' I shall never forget her with her lovely feminine outline, and her perfect dignity .... so sound, so quiet, so typical, with none of the exaggerations which have ruined the breed. I walked forward and gave her handler, Simpson, the coveted purple and gold ribbon. Little Lola had beaten all the champions, and beaten them rightly.”

Fine condition, good margins.
