:: CATEGORIES :: > Dewi Lewis Cats, Dogs & Other Rabbits by Harry Whittier Frees The extraordinary world of Harry Whittier Frees Once widely known throughout the United States for his wonderfully cute photographs of animals, Harry Whittier Frees began his career taking pictures for novelty postcards. By 1905 he was adding various props and clothing to the shots to give the animals a more human image. The photos lent themselves immediately to children’s books, and by 1915 Frees had published several. His mother made most of the early outfits, which were designed to help hold the animals in what can only be described as ‘unnatural’ poses. In all his books though, Frees reassured readers that these very cute photographs of kittens, puppies and bunnies were made possible ‘only by patient unfailing kindness on the part of the photographer at all times’. Frees often used his own animals, including his cats Rags and Fluff who were featured extensively in his early work. His photographs were used over several decades, and he continued to photograph and publish books until his death in 1953.
