EDITORS COMMENTS
This series of twelve consecutive images showcases the grace and power of a Greyhound in full flight. Taken around 1881, these photographs offer a rare glimpse into the past, providing an intriguing window into the world of these magnificent animals before the advent of modern photography. The Greyhound, known for its slender build and incredible speed, is a breed that has captivated humans for thousands of years. In these images, we see the dog in its natural element, fully engaged in the pursuit of its prey. With each step, its powerful legs propel it forward, muscles taut and coat glistening with sweat. Its eyes are focused intently on the horizon, the very picture of determination and focus. The photographs were likely taken using a technique known as 'stop-motion' or 'sequential photography,' which was still a relatively new innovation at the time. The ability to capture multiple images in quick succession allowed the photographer to freeze the Greyhound's movements and reveal the beauty and fluidity of its gait. These images offer a unique perspective on the Greyhound's physical capabilities and the art of photography in the late 19th century. They also serve as a reminder of the enduring appeal of these animals, which continue to be cherished for their speed, agility, and beauty to this day.
