Stunning new photography of the objects is accompanied by essays that place the figures in their historical and artistic context. Pugs were introduced to Europe in the late 16th or early 17th century and quickly gained popularity among the European aristocracy thanks to the animals' even temperament and sociability. In 1740, a secret society called the Order of the Pug was established as an offshoot of the Freemasons; the pug was selected to represent the society due to its reputation for reliability, trust, and steadfastness. Also featured here is a survey of pug imagery in contemporary European decorative arts, including on snuff-boxes, flasks, and cane handles"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Meissen porcelain $x Private collections $z France $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Porcelain, German $y 18th century $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Porcelain animals $v Catalogs. 650 0 $a Pug in art $v Catalogs. 700 1 $a Dumortier, Claire, $e editor. 700 1 $a Habets, Patrick, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201103015042.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=53BFCEE28E9811EAB83BD64B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
