Early Siberian Huskies

Siberian fanciers who are concerned about preserving the breed as it existed when it was first imported into North America often passionately discuss and compare show lines, racing lines, and dogs who do both. But pictures of the imports and early dogs are difficult to find, and those that exist, are often published in small sizes and are not very contrasty. I've probably broken all sorts of copyright laws doing this, but I've collected some of what is available in breed books and on the internet and enhanced contrast and size using Adobe Photoshop.
