Description: | Dodd Feb. 14 1917
image: a half length portrait of General Sir Edmund Allenby, seated at a table and half turned to the left, his left hand in his trouser pocket.
Dodd had a mixed response to his portraits of military leaders. While some of the sitters were pleased with the result,
Haig included, many found that the portraits made them appear arrogant, and others ridiculous. However, two special edition volumes were issued, one for the admirals, and one for the generals, which both sold well. The portraits were also included in a very popular joint exhibition of Bone and Dodd's work in mid-1918.
