EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 23rd of August, 1927, capturing a momentous event - the preparations for the grand opening of the New Greyhound Racing Track at Harringay. The image exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as greyhounds are seen in full action during their trials. The photograph beautifully showcases the grace and agility of these magnificent creatures as they sprint across the track with incredible speed. Every muscle on their sleek bodies is taut, emphasizing their determination to win. The intensity of the race is palpable through this fine action picture. Intriguingly frozen in time, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era between two world wars when greyhound racing was gaining immense popularity as a sport. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tumultuous times, people sought solace and entertainment through thrilling events like these races. The composition captures not only the athleticism but also highlights elements such as fashion trends from that period; spectators can be seen dressed elegantly in suits and hats while intently following every twist and turn on the track. Between The Wars has skillfully preserved this historical moment through photography, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance. This print transports us back nearly a century ago when greyhound racing was at its peak, reminding us of our enduring fascination with sports and our desire for shared experiences that transcend time.
