1905 bas relief postcard of Sing Loh from England -an extremely rare find

Dated around 1905 this extremely rare bas-relief postcard was created with a unique process that allowed the back to be flat, while the dog’s head has a deeply embossed texture To make this an even more amazing find, the named chow Sing Loh was a well known, yet rarely pictured son of the famous Ch Red Craze in England.  I’m so excited to have this original in my collection.  See below for more info about Sing Loh and the Bas Relief cards.
