EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a sleek and elegant Greyhound proudly stands over its living prey, a hare, having successfully completed the hunt. Dating back to the 1850s, this historical image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural instincts and agility of this ancient breed. Unlike its descendants who have been compelled to pursue an electric hare in modern racing, this Greyhound, with its sharp focus and determination, chased and caught its prey in the wild. The hare, with its long ears and agile limbs, was a formidable opponent, but the Greyhound's speed and endurance made it a formidable hunter. The Greyhound breed, one of the oldest in the world, has a rich history that dates back over 4,000 years. Originating in Egypt, these dogs were revered for their speed and agility, and were often depicted in art and mythology. Over the centuries, they were bred and refined, becoming the sleek and graceful creatures we know today. This photograph, taken circa 1850, is a reminder of the Greyhound's historical role as a hunter, and the deep connection between these dogs and their prey. It also highlights the beauty and elegance of the breed, which continues to captivate and inspire us today. Whether you're a history buff, an animal lover, or simply appreciate the artistry of a well-captured image, this photograph is a must-see. It offers a unique perspective on the past, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the Greyhound breed.
