| Antique print - Beautiful English Greyhound Engraving 1894 Engraving A beautiful illustration from a British Victorian natural history book. The quality of the illustrations is superb, some of the best of the period.The Greyhound (canis familiarus) - It is hardly possible to conceive an animal which is more entirely formed for speed and endurance than a well-bred Greyhound. Its long slender legs, with their whipcord-like muscles, denote extreme length of stride and rapidity of movement. The chief use is in coursing the hare, and exhibiting in this chase its marvelous swiftness, and its endurance of fatigue. |
