EDITORS COMMENTS
by Terry Parker, 1931. This black and white drawing by Terry Parker, created in 1931, showcases the grace and power of a Greyhound in full stride. The artist expertly captures the essence of the breed, with its long, lean body and powerful muscles tautly engaged as it moves with unmatched agility and speed. The Greyhound's ears are pulled back, its eyes focused intently on the horizon, and its tongue lolling out of its mouth in the classic "Binks" position, named after the famous Greyhound who popularized the pose in the 1920s. The image transports us back to the 1930s, an era marked by the Great Depression and the rise of the automobile. Greyhound racing was a popular pastime during this time, and the sleek, fast dogs were a symbol of freedom and excitement. This drawing captures the spirit of the era, with its focus on speed, power, and the natural beauty of the Greyhound. Terry Parker was a renowned British artist known for his illustrations of animals and wildlife. His work was featured in various publications, including The Illustrated London News and The Graphic. This drawing of a Greyhound is a testament to his skill as an artist, with its precise attention to detail and ability to convey the dynamic energy of the subject. The image is a reminder of the enduring appeal of Greyhounds, both as beloved pets and as symbols of grace, power, and speed. Whether admired for their beauty or their athletic prowess, Greyhounds continue to captivate and inspire us, just as they did in the 1930s and continue to do today.
