EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Whippet Racing, Weighing In" captures a moment of anticipation and excitement in the world of dog racing. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is now part of a private collection. In the image, we see two elegant whippets standing side by side as they are weighed before a race. The dogs exude grace and agility with their slender bodies and sleek coats. Their intense gazes suggest that they are fully aware of the upcoming challenge ahead. The setting is reminiscent of early 20th-century sporting events, with an old-fashioned weighing scale prominently displayed in the foreground. A walking stick or cane leans against it, adding to the vintage charm of the scene. This photograph was originally used as an illustration for "The New Book of the Dog" by Robert Leighton, published around 1912. It beautifully captures not only the physical attributes but also the spirit and energy that define whippet racing. With its timeless appeal and expert composition, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era when dog racing held great fascination for both participants and spectators alike. Whether you're an enthusiast of canine sports or simply appreciate fine art photography, this striking image will surely captivate your imagination.
