It is completely absurd and entirely delightful, and it works because it is drawn so well — those dogs really are running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCecil Aldin (1870–1935) was one of Britain's best-loved sporting and animal illustrators, a contemporary and friend of Beatrix Potter's circle, famous for his dogs above all. He understood terriers particularly well: the low head, the flying ears, the sense that the animal is about to do something ill-advised at speed. Adding jockeys in the shape of day-old chicks is the sort of gentle joke that Edwardian illustration did beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 48 × 162mm with a yellow ribbon marker, it lies flat in any book.
