Lady Emily Peel (1836–1924) was renowned for breeding award winning borzoi dogs. This carte-de-visite, taken by Camille Silvy, references Peel's talent as she is posed with two borzoi dogs. To achieve a focused image, the dogs would have been required to stay perfectly still for a period of a few seconds.
