RESTORATION -1920s Cabinet card. Woman and Chow England

I restored this beautiful image in black & white to better show off the details of the clothing and chow. with its detailed leather harness. More often than not, from my observations, Chows were pictured wearing a harness vs. a collar prior to the 1940s

I love the detailing on the woman dress with the upright collar and pattern on the fabric. The period hat gives this outfit a kind of “going on safari” vibe which was a popular fashion theme in the Roaring 20’s

As much as I am smitten with seeing more of the details in black and white, I do love the original sepia photo for its softness and lovely patina. A period photo that says it all without words
