EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to witness an exhilarating moment at the renowned Altcar dog derby. The image showcases a lively scene filled with anticipation and excitement as sleek greyhounds dash across the track, their graceful forms captured in intricate detail. The artist's skillful sketching technique brings to life every aspect of this thrilling event. From the determined expressions on the faces of jockeys urging their dogs forward, to the animated crowd cheering on their favorites, each element contributes to a vibrant atmosphere that leaps off the page. Altcar, located in Merseyside, was known for its prestigious coursing events that attracted both enthusiasts and spectators alike. This particular illustration originally appeared in The Graphic newspaper on February 22nd, 1873 - offering readers a glimpse into this popular sport of yesteryears. As we admire this historical print today, we are transported back to an era where greyhound racing held immense popularity and captivated audiences with its fast-paced action. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with competitive sports and our appreciation for art's ability to immortalize these moments.
