EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century transports us to a thrilling scene of hare coursing. The print, titled "Hare Coursing" captures the essence of this popular hunting sport in exquisite detail. In the foreground, we see two magnificent greyhounds eagerly chasing after a hare with incredible speed and agility. Their muscular bodies are poised for action, their eyes fixed on their prey as they race across an open field. The intensity of the chase is palpable, as if frozen in time. The English School artist skillfully portrays the excitement and energy of match coursing, a competitive form of hare coursing that was highly regarded during this era. Every line and stroke in this engraving conveys movement and dynamism, making it almost possible to hear the barks and cheers from spectators. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we can appreciate its historical significance too. Originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in December 1848, it offers us a glimpse into pastimes enjoyed by people centuries ago. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece through meticulous reproduction techniques so that we may continue to admire its beauty today. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with dogs, hunting traditions, and the timeless artistry that brings them to life on paper.
