EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring 1930s and experience the thrilling atmosphere of Greyhound Racing at Wembley Stadium as captured in this historic photograph by renowned British artist Algernon Talmage. The illuminated track of the greyhound racing stadium at Wembley shines brightly under the evening sky, casting an ethereal glow over the thousands of spectators gathered in the stands. Dressed in their finest attire, the crowd eagerly awaits the start of the race, their eyes fixed on the track and the sleek greyhounds that will soon burst forth from the starting gates. The history of Greyhound Racing at Wembley dates back to the early 1920s, with the first official meeting taking place in 1927. The sport quickly gained popularity, and by the 1930s, Wembley Stadium had become one of the most famous Greyhound Racing venues in the world. The energy and excitement of the crowds are palpable in this photograph, as the anticipation builds for the next race to begin. The illuminated track, with its sharp turns and straightaways, is a sight to behold, and the greyhounds, poised at the starting gates, are a testament to the power and agility of these magnificent animals. The stands are filled with a diverse mix of people, from the well-dressed upper class to working-class families, all united in their love for the sport of Greyhound Racing. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of Greyhound Racing and the role it played in British culture during the 1930s. The memory of this electrifying night at Wembley Stadium lives on through the art of Algernon Talmage, preserving the excitement and energy of a bygone era.
