1905 The Tatler- France – The chows Countess de Cholet including Ch. Shylock

 

 

Here is another rare find  I purchased from England that came from an antique weekly publication in London of social and drama news called ” The Tatler”  .  The Countess de Cholet was one of the leading early  chowists in France and from what I can gather, was during this period a “collector” of big winners from famous British stock.   I need to have my French chow history friend Julien Marchetti, author of L’Historie du Chow-Chow en France  translate the details  for us about the Countess, as there is a lot about her in the beginning of his amazing book…written in French.
