EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Greyhound Kennels at Athelhampton, near Dorchester" takes us back in time to the 19th century. Created by Louis Wain, a renowned artist of that era, this print offers a glimpse into the world of greyhound racing. The scene depicts the interior of the kennels where these majestic dogs are housed. The ladybird whelps can be seen playfully exploring their surroundings while eagerly awaiting their turn on the roads for exercise. The heated kennel rooms provide comfort and warmth for these prized animals. Outside, we catch a glimpse of the misterton paddock where sleek greyhounds gracefully race against each other. Surrounding them are saplings and dewdrops glistening in the morning light, adding an ethereal touch to this idyllic setting. Athelhampton's beauty shines through with its grand exterior architecture serving as a backdrop to this bustling hub of canine activity. It is evident that every detail has been meticulously captured by Wain's skilled hand. This enchanting engraving not only showcases Wain's artistic prowess but also provides us with a window into an era when greyhound racing was at its peak.
