Miss Ada Reeve and Friends  Edwardian 1900 chow cat ladies man actress

This gem of a photo  is in my own collection but I almost passed it up paging through a card file full of photos….the chow was hidden at the bottom corner.  It pays to never scan, always INSPECT old photos at estate sales and antique shops. You never know where that next treasure will be hiding!!   Below I cropped this same image to show you better detail .  Keep in mind this is one of the earliest chows to be photographed outside of China in a casual setting.  The breed was in its infancy in Europe when this photo was taken  and introduced to America close to the same timeframe..

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.
