    This book I have known for a short time, but the moment I sawit I knew we had to have it.

    It’s a tribute book published after Xaudaró’s death in 1933 as a compilation of his works published in the Spanish newspaper ABC and its sister magazine Blanco y Negro. On page 6, the publishers dedicate the book to Xaudaró’s widow, the text saying that all profits made out of the book would go entirely to her.

    Of course, the main feature in this book is the cover… or at least the main reason why I got it. I love the symbolic image of the dog looking sadly at the bell that’s fallen from its collar. It is sad image, isn’t it?

    On pic.2 you can see Xaudaró’s portrait. You can appreciate he had a taste for Asian art, which wasn’t that rare as he was born in the Philippines (at the time it was a Spanish territory -the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico had the status of Spanish province, just like the French territoires d’outre mer in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans-.)

    On pic. 3 you can see a bigger drawing, which was the type published in the magazine Blanco y negro (whereas the smaller ones in black ink were published in the newspaper ABC).

    Finally, on pic.4, one of the very few vignettes where Xaudaró’s dog is a main character. I haven’t seen the whole book, but so far I’ve been able to find just two of those. By the way, please don’t ask me for a translation!!!… it will lose all meaning when translated (in any case I find his jokes pretty silly, having been made around 1920… )

      Thanks SEAN and KAREN for your nice comments! Every text Ive read about it online says how sad that both Xaudaró and the dog character are almost completely forgotten nowadays... They were si popular at the tme!
