This review is from: The Modern Wire Haired Fox Terrier - Its History, Points & Training (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic) (Hardcover)

It may be titled The Modern Wire Fox Terrier, but it was originally printed in 1933 London. Pictures are few, black and white and grainy. These are pix of dogs from that era. Info is great for background and history.
