I love dogs and this vintage engraving of two adorable sleeping puppies just melts my heart! The puppies’ names are Casear and Pompey and the illustration was engraved for St. Nicholas magazine from a study by J. H. Dolph.
Here is an accompanying poem titled Caesar and Pompey by Tudor Jenks. I scanned these pages from the March 1891 issue of St. Nicholas magazine.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh puppies are the sweetest!! Both my babies are 7 this year — I’m feeling the need for puppy breath and round warm tummies to rub. Thanks so much for the image and the poem – delightful. Wishing you a very blesses 2015
Hi Elaine,
They grow up so fast. 🙂 I’m happy to know you like the image and the poem.
