Tatler cover - Mrs Arundel Kempton & Mick the Miller

Front cover of the Tatler magazine featuring Mrs Arundel Kempton pictured with the legendary greyhound champion, Mick the Miller and two of his puppies. She was donating the puppies (whose dam was Toftwood Misery) for a sweepstakes in aid of the South London Hospital and Royal Veterinary College. Greyhound racing enjoyed a new found popularity during the late 1920s and 1930s not just among the working classes but also, "high society" with many society ladies owning greyhounds and inviting their circle for dinner and drinks at the stadiums springing up around the country.
