The unwelcome trespasser appeared at the stable door and Sal immediately sensed the danger facing her family. She barked ferociously and the interloper turned on her heels and fled, leaving Sal and her 10 puppies in peace. The incident at Aigburth Hall in 1829 was depicted by prolific Liverpool artist Charles Towne in his painting The Intruder (also known as Sal and Her Puppies). It was commissioned by wealthy merchant and dog lover Henry Harrison, who lived at the Hall. The story of the painting is told by Alex Kidson in his fascinating new book Earlier British Paintings in the Walker Art Gallery and Sudley House (Liverpool University Press / National Museums Liverpool, £35). The 357-page hardback is lavishly illustrated with fact-filled narratives about the well-known as well as more obscure works in the two popular galleries. Henry (1795 – 1871) settled in Liverpool in 1812 as a partner in Harrison, Arnold and Lathom at George’s Dock and later Cook Street. continued on page 3
