The history of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Toy spaniels sat at the feet of the Stuart court, and Charles II kept enough of them for diarists to complain about it. The modern breed is a deliberate reconstruction: in the 1920s Roswell Eldridge offered prize money at Crufts for spaniels of the older, longer-nosed sort shown in seventeenth-century portraits, and breeders answered him. What survived is a dog bred for company and for nothing else, which is exactly how it behaves. Cavaliers do not merely follow you upstairs, they wait outside the bathroom door, and they will choose a lap over a walk without appearing to weigh it up. Drawn for the archive, the ears are given the space they need to fall properly, since a Cavalier's whole expression depends on the frame they make around the face.

About the plate

Every plate in the archive is drawn from scratch as a natural-history engraving, the breed set in the country it was made for rather than floated on a white background. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is Archive No. 010. The drawing is printed as a full plate across the back of the garment, nothing on the front, and the same plate is used for the print and the cards.

Garments are made when they are ordered, so nothing is printed until it is wanted and nothing is held in a warehouse. UK orders are printed in the UK and North American orders in the USA, which keeps the parcel on the same side of the ocean as the person waiting for it. If it is not right when it arrives, it can go back within 30 days.
