EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lithograph print captures the charming sign of the "Greyhound" in Shap, England. The detailed illustration showcases a traditional roadside signpost featuring a proud and regal greyhound, symbolizing speed and agility. This image was originally created for The Dunlop Book, The Motorist's Guide, Counsellor and Friend in the early 20th century.
The black and white artwork exudes a sense of nostalgia, taking us back to a time when such hand-painted signs dotted the countryside to guide travelers on their journeys. The Greyhound sign is not only a practical marker but also a piece of art that adds character to its surroundings.
The English School artist has captured the essence of this iconic symbol with precision and skill, highlighting every intricate detail of the rough Scotch greyhound breed. The graceful posture of the dog evokes feelings of admiration and respect for these loyal animals.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of simpler times when road trips were filled with adventure and discovery. The Sign of the "Greyhound" stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with man's best friend and serves as a timeless reminder of days gone by.
