EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Night at the Dogs" taken by George Greenwell in 1946, we are transported back to the bustling atmosphere of the White City Greyhound Track in London. The image captures both the general views of the track and the colorful characters who work there, providing a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are immediately drawn to the sleek greyhounds eagerly preparing for their race. Their muscular bodies exude power and grace, reflecting their innate racing abilities. Surrounding them are enthusiastic spectators, eagerly placing bets and cheering on their favorite dogs with anticipation. The scene is alive with energy as people from all walks of life come together for an evening filled with excitement and entertainment. We catch glimpses of well-dressed gentlemen discussing strategies while clutching betting slips tightly in their hands. Meanwhile, elegantly dressed ladies adorned with fashionable hats add a touch of glamour to this vibrant setting. The White City Greyhound Track itself stands proudly in the background, its floodlights illuminating every corner of this nocturnal spectacle. Its grandstands teem with eager faces lit up by smiles or expressions of sheer concentration. George Greenwell's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates an entire era when greyhound racing was at its peak popularity. It serves as a nostalgic reminder that even amidst post-war challenges, people sought solace and joy through simple pleasures like attending races under starry skies. This print from
