Antique Pet Portraits

Andrew Pinkham Transports Fido and Fifi to the 19th Century

— July 24, 2011 — Lifestyle
Andrew Pinkham must have a great love for pets, because he's gone to great lengths to make ordinary creature companions look like legendary beasts of old.

Your cat might like the iPhone photos you snapped last night and retweeted to all your followers, but he's sure to love these antique recreations by Philadelphia-based photography Andrew Pinkham. Taken with a digital camera, manipulated and then printed on canvas, these photos have been made to look like 19th-century paintings and will truly communicate the love and respect you have for your pet.

If you're already excited to have your pet immortalized on canvas, you'll be glad to hear that Pinkham takes commissions. And you'll be even happier to hear that Pinkham, an animal lover himself, donates 20 percent of each project's cost to your choice of three animal charities: PAWS, Philadelphia Greyhound Connection or the National Greyhound Adoption Program.
