Pets of the House: A Christmas Feast, drawn by Percy Tarrant, 1883. 'A couple of gentle fawns, perfectly tame, accustomed to be daily fed by the children at the mansion of Beechwood Park, are the recognised "Pets of the House," and seem to be making themselves quite at home in the pleasing scene which our Artist has chosen to portray...A more intimate and loving bond of mutual tenderness may in time be formed between the young girl and her four-footed favourite...any young lady, who will take the trouble to rear a pet fawn or a pet lamb, may find its companionship as good as that of a cat'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
