WHAT IT IS:
Wonderful framed color print featuring Wallace Robinson’s 1915 World War I illustration, “I’m Neutral, BUT—Not Afraid of Any of Them.”
This historical illustration depicts five dogs representing different nations during World War I:
English Bulldog, German Dachshund, American Bull Terrier, French Bulldog, and Russian Wolf Hound.
Each dog wears a military-inspired uniform representing its country. The American Bull Terrier proudly displays red, white, and blue patriotic colors.
The artwork reflects America’s neutrality during the early years of World War I, before the United States entered the conflict in 1917.
The print bears Wallace Robinson’s printed signature and the original publisher’s attribution, The Henry Heininger Co., Pub., N.Y.
Printed on medium-weight paper with visible aging and presented under glass in a gold-tone frame.
The illustration dates to 1915. The exact printing date of this particular example has not been authenticated.
A wonderful collectible for enthusiasts of WWI memorabilia, antique dog illustrations, patriotic Americana, military history, and early 20th-century
