EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving captures the lively atmosphere of the Waterloo Coursing Meeting, held in Altcar near Liverpool in the 19th century. Created by renowned artist Louis Wain and engraved by C Henschel, this illustration showcases a variety of animals, huntsmen, and spectators engaged in an exhilarating day of coursing. The scene depicts a picturesque rural landscape where horses and hounds eagerly await their turn on the coursing field. The finely-drawn figures showcase different breeds of dogs, including deerhounds and basset hounds, highlighting their elegance and strength. A collie dog stands proudly as a guard dog while nearby puppies playfully frolic around. Amidst the excitement, huntsmen can be seen with walking sticks, ready to release their dogs for pursuit. Spectators gather to witness these thrilling matches between swift greyhounds chasing after elusive hares across open fields. The hand-coloured Victorian style adds depth to each character and brings life to this historical event. The attention to detail is remarkable; from racehorses galloping alongside ponies and shire horses to farm animals peacefully grazing in the background. This print not only celebrates the sport of coursing but also provides us with a glimpse into 19th-century English social life. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance – reminding us of our connection with wildlife, leisure activities, and cultural traditions that have shaped our past.
