Photograph of a dog is a 1900 photographic by Charles Jones, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Charles Jones took this photo around 1900. It’s a simple picture of a dog, but Jones wasn’t a pro photographer. He worked as a gardener and took pictures in his free time. Jones shot odd things like train crashes and snake eggs, plus everyday plants. His dog photo fits his style—plain and direct, with no fancy tricks. Check out more of Jones’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A black-and-white photograph in an album depicts a dog reclining on a patterned sofa. The image likely served as a personal record by Charles Harry Jones, who worked as a gardener at Ote Hall in Sussex. The album, compiled posthumously, contains photographs arranged without strict chronological order. The photograph was acquired from Jones’s granddaughter in 2004.
