“No animals were harmed . . . “
From Helen Wing’s Playtime Poodles (Rand McNally: 1955).
Photographs by Albert Westelin and Jack Schmidling.
Quite a few . . . photographers, including several husband and wife combos, contributed to the Elf book series. A small movement was born throughout the 1940s and 1950s of writers/photographers who specialized in humorous animal photography, all without the aid of computer technology.
