Greyhound racing is a relatively new sport and was introduced into the UK in 1926 by Charles Munn. A handful of sets were issued on this topic and they vividly bring to life the early days of this modern sport.

Morris issued a set of 1930’s racing greyhounds, stating their owners’ winnings on the reverse of the cards. The illustrations were printed using the photogravure technique and it looks as though a gloss varnish was applied, giving them an almost photographic appearance.
