Poodle Historic Grooming Diagrams
In 1960 whilst training in Paris in Canine aesthetics, I worked for a Monsieur Marcel who is acknowledged as the creator of the 'Lamb Clip' for Poodles which he did for the Dutch Princess Juilette in 1932. Although Poodle trimming has changed dramatically over the last century, his previously unpublished hand drawn diagrams, all written in French, are reproduced here.
He also drew for me the lion clip below. It is interesting to note the moustache! Please click to enlarge.
