RESTORATION-1914 Russian boy with his chow-RARE FIND

VERY RARE RUSSIAN IMAGE-CIRCA 1914  YOUNG RUSSIAN BOY WITH HIS CHOW DOG

Considering the written history of Chows in Russia starts at about WWII , this image I purchased from Russia is an incredibly rare find.

The back of the photo was dated in pencil November 1914. Could this be a Chinese chow or is it from England?

The original gelatin silver print (inset) was very dark and full of pits and scratches. I was so glad I could bring out more detail via digital restoration to see this lovely pair, the expressions…the outfit. Priceless as they can be!

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.
