EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrill and excitement of a Greyhound race from the early 20th century. The image shows a group of Greyhounds in mid-air as they leap over a low hedge during the race, their powerful muscles tensed and bodies streamlined for maximum speed. The hedge, a common feature in Greyhound racing tracks of the time, adds an element of challenge and drama to the event. Three men can be seen in the background, watching intently from behind a fence. Their focused expressions and body language convey a sense of anticipation and engagement with the race. Greyhound racing was a popular spectator sport during this era, and the thrill of watching these magnificent animals in action was a draw for crowds across the country. The sport of Greyhound racing has a rich history, with the first recorded races taking place in England in the 17th century. By the early 20th century, the sport had gained widespread popularity, with races being held in dedicated stadiums and tracks. The image of Greyhounds racing round a track, seen here in the air as they leap a low hedge, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this ancient and exhilarating sport.
