DOG SHOW - John Steinbeck traveled the United States with his dog, Charley. Arthur Conan
Doyle's hound of the Baskervilles bayed at the moon; Jack London's dog answered the call of
the wild; and J.M. Barrie's Nana romped with Wendy, Michael, John and Peter. Most movingly
of all, Eleanor Atkinson's Greyfriar's Bobby stood sentinel at his master's grave until his own
demise. These are just a few of the famous literary canines represented in The Dog Show:
Canines in English and American Literature (p. 39), an exhibition of first editions and
manuscripts drawn from the more than 200,000 volumes of English and American literature in
New York University's Fales Collection. The exhibition is on view at the university's Greenwich
Village campus through April 26. (The exhibition was extended through May 26, 2002.)
Accompanying The Dog Show are several delightful paintings of man's best friend by New
York-based artist Michael Eade. Typical of Eade's sensitivity to his subject is Maxine (above),
a basset hound immortalized in egg tempera on wood panel. Eade accepts commissions and
can be reached either by calling 541-4775 or through e-mail: pet_portraits@att.net.
