EDITORS COMMENTS
This litho print captures the lively atmosphere of a popular sport in Berlin during the late 19th century. The scene unfolds on the River Spree, where a thrilling dogs swimming race is taking place. Created by William Hatherell and published in The Graphic on April 22,1899, this illustration provides a glimpse into an exciting event that attracted both locals and visitors alike. The river is teeming with activity as spectators gather along its banks to cheer for their favorite canine competitors. Rafts and boats dot the water, adding to the festive ambiance of the occasion. People eagerly engage in betting, hoping to predict which hound will emerge victorious from this exhilarating race. The diversity of dog breeds participating in this event is remarkable – from majestic deerhounds and basset hounds to loyal collies and curious mongrels. Each four-legged athlete showcases their unique skills as they navigate through the water with determination. This image not only highlights a beloved pastime but also offers insights into German culture at that time. It reflects Germany's affinity for outdoor pursuits, including hunting and various sports involving animals. Additionally, it serves as a testament to Berlin's vibrant street life and its residents' enthusiasm for leisure activities. As we admire this historic print today, we are transported back to an era when such events brought communities together while celebrating both human ingenuity and our enduring connection with animals.
