EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Excitement of a Whippet Race: Three Determined Owners Ready Their Dogs for the Start (1960)" This photograph captures the essence of a whippet race start in the year 1960. The image portrays the raw energy and excitement that comes with the beginning of this ancient and thrilling sport. Three dedicated owners, each holding a leash in one hand and a whip in the other, prepare their sleek and powerful whippets for the race. Whippets, a breed known for their slender bodies, long legs, and agility, were traditionally used for hare coursing. However, as hare coursing was banned in many countries, whippet racing emerged as a popular alternative. The sport requires the dogs to race against each other over a short distance, with the first one to cross the finish line declared the winner. In this photograph, the owners demonstrate their mastery over their animals, using their body language and the whips to encourage their whippets to the starting line. The dogs, sensing the anticipation in the air, are focused and alert, their eyes fixed on the starting gate. The tension in the air is palpable, as the owners and spectators eagerly await the sound of the starting gun. This photograph is a testament to the strong bond between the owners and their whippets, as well as the rich history and tradition of whippet racing. It also highlights the excitement and thrill that comes with being a part of this ancient and beloved sport.
