I’m still pinching myself and can’t believe I was able to purchase this very rare, 1941 calendar page featuring a chow but none other than the well known canine artist Will Rannells.    Mr. Rannells was know for his many LIFE magazine covers as well as other magazines.  His dogs were mostly well dressed with a dapper hat and sometimes clothing.   This chow is unique as it is more classically drawn by the artist as were the other canine months of the STEELE AND MATTHEWS AGENCY  calendar which measures a large 12 x 22″!

I do my best to be as accurate as possible in my research, however many times written history finds a way to "morph" over time. I love your comments and appreciate all feedback, additions and corrections my readers have to offer to help make this a well rounded and accurate archive.
