Notes (this edition)
These notes were written by the original owner/seller/auctioner of the item and may be inaccurate.:
A wonderful image of a Chinese Chin dog sitting on a pillow. Has been listed over the years as a Chinese Chin and a Pekinese but is probably a Chinese Chin. Lots of embossing in the dog's fur. Love the tongue sticking out. Slight browning to the top left corner edge of the paper and edge of the paper on the left margin. All else is perfect. Measures 10 3/4 by 14 1/2.
