EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back in time to the year 1912. The image captures a heartwarming moment between young William Gray Hassler and his feline companion, Reddy the cat. Seated at a table, both boy and cat are engrossed in their morning meal of Quaker puffed rice cereal. The scene exudes an air of simplicity and innocence, as we witness the joyous act of sharing breakfast with a beloved pet. William's face radiates delight as he stretches out his arm to offer Reddy a taste of the crunchy cereal. Meanwhile, Reddy sits attentively beside him, eagerly awaiting her turn to indulge in this delightful morning treat. This portrait not only showcases the bond between human and animal but also provides us with a glimpse into childhood during that era. It reminds us of simpler times when children found happiness in small moments like enjoying breakfast with their cherished pets. Preserved by photographer William Davis Hassler (1877-1921), this timeless image now resides within the collection of the New-York Historical Society in the USA. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be captivated by its charm and nostalgic beauty—a testament to our enduring connection with animals throughout history.
