These 4 images are from a series of glass slides created back in 1910 called ANECDOTES ABOUT DOGS and the photographer was the very famous portrait photographer, Thomas Fall (1833-1900). Manufactured by York and Son in England. Each slide is labeled as being a Chow which I find quite interesting as the last two are clearly both breeds from Asia but today not considered a “chow”, but possibly a Japanese Inu breed and Chinese Crested. Each image is so crisp and lovely you just want to step into the photo to touch these dogs…the magic was in Thomas Falls skilled artistry when he created dog portraits.
Thomas Fall was born on 19th October 1833 in Leyburn, Yorkshire. In 1867, Thomas Fall moved down to London to work as a photographer in the famous portrait studio of Elliott & Fry. By 1875, Thomas Fall had established his own photographic studio at 9 Baker Street, London. Thomas Fall specialised in canine photography and in the 1890s became well-known for his photographs of champion dogs. SOURCE

The adult dog with the puppies looks like what the Chinese call a Tang dog. There is a paper from Eric Omura you might find interesting, that explains the Tang dog link to the chow chow: https://kennellonfumun.kotisivukone.com/9

I’ve been hunting for one of these antique lantern slides at estate sales for years — the hand-tinted ones from the 1890s are my white whale. Were the colored versions actually projected in shows, or were they made mostly for collectors?
What a fascinating window into the past — magic lantern slides from around 1910 must have been striking to see projected in person. It’s wonderful that someone preserved them and is connecting them to Chow breed history. Looking forward to the next installment.
I love these old slides! It’s so interesting to see the history of photography and how things have changed. Speaking of presentations, have you seen the new ASH 2026 guidelines? ASH hematology exhibitor prospectus
