The Duke of Leeds Hounds, 1911 - A Glimpse into the Thrilling World of Greyhound Racing
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Maud Earl in 1911, we are transported back to a time when blood sports held great fascination. The image showcases the magnificent greyhounds that belonged to George Godolphin Osborne, the esteemed 10th Duke of Leeds (1862-1927). These elegant creatures were not just any ordinary dogs; they were competitors in hare coursing, an exhilarating sport popular during that era. The photograph is part of "British Sports and Sportsmen: Racing Coursing and Steeplechasing" edited by William Scarth Dixon. It offers us a glimpse into a world where speed, agility, and skill were highly valued attributes. The Duke's hounds had achieved notable success as runners-up in the prestigious Waterloo Cup from 1898 to 1900. Maud Earl's artistic eye beautifully captures these regal greyhounds with their sleek bodies and intense gazes. Their presence exudes power and grace as they stand side by side against a backdrop of rolling countryside. This image serves as a testament to the bond between man and dog throughout history. As we admire this piece from our heritage collection, let it transport us back in time to an era when greyhound racing was at its peak popularity. May it remind us of the rich traditions associated with British sportsmanship while also appreciating the artistry behind Maud Earl's masterful photography skills.
