Notes at the Waterloo Coursing Meeting - A Glimpse into Victorian Sporting Culture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by John Charles Dollman in 1882, offers a fascinating insight into the world of hare coursing during the Victorian era. The artwork depicts an intense moment at the renowned Waterloo Coursing Meeting, where eager participants gather to witness and partake in this popular sport. The scene is filled with anticipation as swells and spectators eagerly watch the rushing greyhounds chase after their prey. The fate of both hunters and victims hangs in balance as they navigate through a challenging course. Home news spreads quickly among onlookers, who take notes on each thrilling round. Intriguingly, amidst all the action, one can spot a swimmer retrieving lost notes from a nearby pond—a testament to how seriously these records were taken. The first-round kill is celebrated with great enthusiasm by players and game enthusiasts alike. The penny toll system for entry adds an element of accessibility to this exhilarating pastime that captivated people from all walks of life. Hare coursing was not merely a game; it was an opportunity for individuals to showcase their skills while enjoying nature's beauty. As we gaze upon this historical print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era when sporting events like these brought communities together and provided moments of excitement and entertainment for all involved.
