EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1926, showcases Champion Zobeid and his brother Farhan, two elegant Saluki dogs owned by the esteemed Florence Amherst. The Saluki, also known as the Persian Greyhound, is an ancient breed originating from the Middle East and is renowned for its slender build, long legs, and distinctive feathering on the ears and tail. Florence Amherst, a prominent figure in British society, was an avid dog lover and breeder. She acquired these Salukis in their native country and brought them back to England, where they went on to make a significant impact on the breed's development in Europe. In the image, Champion Zobeid and Farhan are shown in their prime, exuding a sense of grace and athleticism. Their coats, glossy and well-groomed, reflect the meticulous care and attention given to these precious animals. The brothers stand proudly, their eyes fixed on an unseen point in the distance, a testament to their natural hunting instincts. The Saluki's rich history and connection to the Middle East are beautifully represented in this photograph. It serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between humans and their canine companions, as well as the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of the world's many breeds.
