1791 Badger Hunt Portland Bardolph
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Bardolph Badger, or the Portland Hunt,' depicts a scene from the historic Portland Hunt in Dorset, England, which dates back to at least 1791. The Portland Hunt was renowned for its unique quarry - the badger - and was one of the oldest and most prestigious hunts in the country. In this image, we see a group of huntsmen on horseback, dressed in their traditional red coats and top hats, in pursuit of a badger. The badger, depicted in the foreground, is shown with its back to the huntsmen, seemingly unaware of the impending danger. The animal's distinctive features are on full display - its dark, glossy coat, powerful build, and prominent snout. The print is attributed to Bardolph Badger, a well-known engraver and printmaker of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Bardolph's work often focused on sporting and hunting scenes, and his skill is evident in the intricate detail and lifelike quality of this print. The Portland Hunt was a significant event in the social and cultural calendar of Dorset, attracting participants and spectators from far and wide. This print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the world of 18th-century hunting and the role that badgers played in the sport. The print is a reminder of the rich history and traditions of the Portland Hunt and the important role that badgers played in the hunting culture of the time. Today, the hunt may no longer exist, but the memory of this historic event lives on through prints like this one, which continue to capture the imagination and fascination of those interested in the history of hunting and the natural world.
