EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "A Pig Hunt in Holland" takes us back to a time when women's participation in sports and amusements was still considered unconventional. The scene depicts a lively pig hunt taking place on the frozen canals of Holland, where female participants are seen confidently skating alongside their male counterparts. The Dutch countryside serves as the backdrop for this exhilarating spectacle, with its picturesque windmills and quaint villages adding charm to the composition. As skaters glide gracefully across the ice, their eyes are fixed on an elusive prize - a group of pigs running ahead. Determined to be crowned victorious, these daring women showcase their agility and skill while chasing after the fleet-footed animals. In this vibrant portrayal of Dutch culture and leisure activities, we witness not only a thrilling sporting event but also a celebration of gender equality. Breaking societal norms at that time, these courageous women challenge traditional roles by actively participating in such an adventurous pursuit. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the pleasures enjoyed by both men and women in 19th-century Holland. It reminds us that throughout history, people have found joy and excitement through various forms of entertainment – even if it involves hunting pigs on ice!
