EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by George Greenwell, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the White City Greyhound Track on a fateful night in September 1946. The image captures one of the bookies, perched attentively at his post, as he keeps a keen eye on the action unfolding on the track. Dressed impeccably in his 1940s attire, this young man exudes an air of confidence and expertise that comes with years of experience in the world of gambling. With binoculars firmly grasped in hand, he meticulously observes every twist and turn of the greyhounds racing past him. The dimly lit surroundings add an element of mystery to this snapshot frozen in time. As spectators cheer from afar and place their bets with anticipation, our focus remains fixated on this solitary figure who stands out amongst the crowd. This photograph not only encapsulates a momentary glimpse into a specific era but also serves as a testament to human fascination with sport and risk-taking. It is through individuals like this bookie that these events come alive - their unwavering dedication ensuring that every bet is placed accurately. George Greenwell's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this scene from decades ago; it invites us to ponder upon how much has changed since then while acknowledging that some things remain timeless – such as our desire for excitement and thrill found within sporting events like greyhound racing.
