EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover of the Tatler magazine from 1932 showcases the elegant Mrs Arundel Kempton, a prominent figure in high society, sharing a special moment with Mick the Miller and two of his beloved greyhound puppies. Mick, a legendary champion greyhound owner and trainer, was known for his racing successes with his greyhounds, and his fame extended beyond the working classes to capture the attention of the upper echelons of society. In this image, Mrs Kempton is seen donating the two adorable pups, whose dam was the renowned Toftwood Misery, for a sweepstakes in aid of the South London Hospital and the Royal Veterinary College. Greyhound racing had gained immense popularity during the late 1920s and 1930s, with many society ladies owning greyhounds and hosting dinner parties and social events at the racing stadiums that were springing up around the country. The 1930s, often referred to as the 'Golden Age' of greyhound racing, saw an unprecedented fusion of sport and social status. This cover image encapsulates the unique blend of high society and the excitement of greyhound racing, with Mrs Kempton's refined elegance contrasting beautifully with the raw energy and power of Mick and his pups. This evocative portrait, a testament to the enduring appeal of greyhound racing and the social landscape of the 1930s, remains a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era.
