EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical lithograph captures a truly unique event that took place in England many years ago. In celebration of a sporting jubilee, members of a hunting club decided to organize an original race of human greyhounds. The participants transformed themselves into dogs, with one acting as the hare and the others chasing after him. It was a comical sight to behold, as these men traded their usual roles for those of playful canines. The start line is filled with excitement and anticipation, as spectators gather to witness this bizarre spectacle. People from all walks of life have come together to watch this unusual relay race unfold. The crowd eagerly awaits the moment when the "dogs" will take off, sprinting across fields and tracks like true athletes. As we observe this scene, it becomes clear that this event was not just about competition or athleticism; it was about camaraderie and shared laughter. The joy on everyone's faces is infectious, reminding us that sometimes it's important to let go of seriousness and embrace moments of lightheartedness. Beltrame Achille masterfully captured the essence of this peculiar gathering through his detailed illustrations. His artwork brings out both the humor and beauty in this extraordinary display of human-dog interaction. This print serves as a reminder that even in organized societies with strict rules and expectations, there is always room for playfulness and unexpected surprises.
