22 - Elgar's Spaniel

I rejoined the National Trust after a long break and decided to go to visit the Elgar Museum in Worcestershire, near where I live. I saw this picture on the wall showing Elgar with his spaniel Marco, and had to photograph it as until relatively recently we have always had Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Our last beloved boy, Bertie passed away in January 2023. Pleased Elgar loved them too!
We had a Springer Spaniel most of my growing up years. They are wonderful dogs!

@olivetreeann Yes, all spaniels are endearing. This image is a composite of the original one on the wall and the plaque beneath it. There was a dreadful shadow over the glass and an unwelcome reflection, so I put my post processing skills to work!

I've a soft spot for the Firs. Nice post-processing!

Beautiful drawing, but at first I thought that the artist drew it from beyond the grave.
