Greyhound Racing at White City

An advertisement for greyhound racing at White City stadium with a painting by Gilbert Holiday. The caption reads: "The trap snaps open...the 30, 000 people in the darkened stands break into a roar...in an instant six greyhounds are flashing down the straight, muscles rippling, coloured jackets flashing against the brilliantly lit turf...one of the tense, dramatic moments of a greyhound."
