In 1932, she began what would be her "calling": photographing animals. In 1940, MoMA was instrumental in obtaining an entry visa for her and she settled in the U.S. in 1941. She published several collections on dogs, cats, ducks and chimps. This photograph of a Spaniel chewing a bone on which is printed in pale blue crayon "Merry Xmas", and is SIGNED in pink crayon, "Ylla", is a vintage photograph with a ferrotyped surface, circa 1950.
