EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1939, showcases the elegant and regal presence of H.R.H. The Duke of Kent with his beloved Chow Chow dog named Muff. The Duke, dressed in a formal suit and hat, stands proudly beside the impressive Chow Chow breed, whose distinctive blue-black tongue, thick coat, and powerful build are on full display. The autumnal setting of the image adds an extra layer of charm, with the vibrant foliage surrounding the pair and the golden leaves scattered on the ground. Chow Chows, one of the oldest breeds in the world, originated in China over 2,000 years ago. They were originally bred as companions for the Chinese nobility and were highly prized for their loyalty and protective nature. The breed's unique physical characteristics, such as their blue-black tongue, were believed to bring good fortune. Muff, a fine example of the Chow Chow breed, exudes an air of confidence and loyalty as he gazes up at his owner. The Duke, a respected member of the British royal family, was known for his love of animals and was an avid hunter and sportsman. The bond between the Duke and Muff is evident in this photograph, making it a timeless and evocative image of the past. This photograph, taken in 1939, captures a moment in history that beautifully encapsulates the connection between a nobleman and his cherished pet, as well as the charm and allure of the ancient Chow Chow breed.
