Catching the Hare
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a humorous illustration by the renowned British artist George Studdy, showcasing a chaotic scene at a greyhound racing track. In this delightful cartoon, a greyhound, reminiscent of Studdy's famous creation Bonzo, eagerly anticipates the start of the race. The hare, oblivious to the commotion, sits calmly on a stationary bicycle at the far end of the track, connected to an electric starter. The greyhounds in the race, sensing the approaching start, are poised at the starting gates, their eyes focused intently on their prey. However, the Bonzo-like dog, unable to contain his excitement, leaps over the railing and charges towards the hare, causing pandemonium among the spectators. The scene is filled with amusing expressions of surprise and disbelief from the crowd, adding to the overall humor of the illustration. This historical cartoon, created by Studdy in the early 20th century, captures the spirit of a bygone era of entertainment. The use of electric starters was a novelty at the time, and greyhound racing was a popular pastime for many. Studdy's ability to infuse humor into everyday situations is evident in this charming illustration, making it a must-have for any collection of historical sports art or for those who appreciate a good laugh. With its intriguing blend of history, sport, and humor, "Catching the Hare" is a captivating glimpse into the past, brought to life through the artistic vision of George Studdy. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of the greyhound and the joy that can be found in the unexpected twists and turns of life."
