EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back to the 20th century, showcasing a Greyhound track totalisator system in all its technological glory. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for the popular scientific book "See How It Works" published by Odhams in 1949. In this intricate depiction, we are transported to a bustling greyhound racecourse where punters eagerly gather around selling windows. Each ticket operator diligently punches bets into the totalisator system while anxious faces await the outcome of their wagers. The tension is palpable as spectators anxiously scan the visual indicator board for updates on their chosen runners. The image provides a fascinating insight into how this high-tech device revolutionized betting at greyhound tracks. With thirty forecast combinations available, it allowed punters to make informed decisions based on various factors such as form and odds. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, we can't help but marvel at the ingenuity behind this early example of technology meeting entertainment. This lithograph serves as a reminder that even decades ago, humans were driven by curiosity and innovation to create devices that enhanced our experiences. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts and Fine Art Finder's platform, we can now appreciate and reflect upon these significant milestones in history – moments when science merged with everyday life to shape our world today.
