EDITORS COMMENTS
an intriguing 1890 photograph from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," offers a glimpse into the pastime of rabbit coursing with greyhounds during the Victorian era in Britain. The image captures a lively scene of working-class men engaged in this blood sport, a popular form of entertainment and gambling activity during the 19th century. The black-and-white photograph portrays a group of men, dressed in various shades of working-class attire, gathered around a coursing field. Two greyhounds are seen in the foreground, their eyes fixed on a rabbit that has been released from a net. The men in the background are equally engrossed, some cheering and placing bets, while others watch with bated breath. Despite the excitement and energy in the scene, the photograph raises concerns about animal cruelty. Rabbit coursing involved setting two greyhounds after a rabbit, which would be chased, pursued, and often killed. The practice was a controversial issue during the Victorian era, with many advocating for animal welfare and the abolition of such blood sports. The photograph serves as a reminder of the social and cultural context of the time, shedding light on the pastimes and traditions of the Victorian working class. It also highlights the complex relationship between humans and animals during this period, as well as the role of the press in documenting and reporting on such events. Overall, "A Pitman's Holiday -- Rabbit Coursing with Greyhounds" is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a unique perspective on the past and the evolving attitudes towards animal welfare.
