Description

“The Hotel Dog” (Among Us Mortals, 7/18/1954)
by W.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962)
18.5 x 15 in., ink on board

W.E. (William Ely) Hill (1887-1962) was known for his masterful black and white Sunday page, “Among Us Mortals,” sometimes referred to as the Hill Page. Please see the Gallery description for more about Hill.

From this July 18, 1954 edition, titled “The Hotel Dog” some quotes:

“Archie, the accommodating bellhop, taking Flo Flo for a walk. Bellhops dislike taking out fancy poodles. They much prefer more manly dogs, like boxers and great Danes.”

“A small dog should always be carried in a hotel elevator so its little paws won’t get stepped on. Then, too, it can get acquainted with the passengers better, as Susie is doing.”

A quick search and I could not find much about how and when the attitudes towards pets in hotels changed. The renaissance of this practice seems to have started in the 1990s.
