Magic Lantern Glass slides circa 1910

Magic Lantern Glass Slide Chow Chow Black Anecdotes About Dogs Series

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.
