EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Artificial Hare Coursing at Hendon" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a unique sporting event of that era. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the thrilling spectacle of artificial hare coursing in London. The scene depicts a group of enthusiastic participants gathered at Hendon, eagerly awaiting the start of the race. In this mechanical version of hare coursing, scent is used to guide greyhounds as they chase after an artificial hare. The tension and excitement are palpable as both dogs and spectators anticipate the exhilarating pursuit about to unfold. Through this artwork, we are transported to a time when such events were highly popular forms of entertainment. The finely detailed engravings capture every aspect of the scene - from the expressions on people's faces to their fashionable attire - immersing us in this historical moment. This particular print was originally featured in The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on September 23rd, 1876. It now resides in a private collection but has been made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder not only of our fascination with sports but also how art can preserve moments from history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
