Editor: This is a sketch of dog heads by Abraham Cooper. It looks like a study sheet. They're just rough outlines, but still full of character. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Beyond the charming depictions, I see a reflection of Victorian society's evolving relationship with animals. Dogs, particularly certain breeds, were becoming increasingly symbolic of status and domesticity. How might these sketches speak to the construction of class and identity through pet ownership? Editor: That's interesting! I was just thinking about how cute they are. Curator: Exactly! The cuteness is carefully cultivated. These sketches are not just about dogs, but about the values projected onto them.
