Beagling in the 1930s - A Hilarious Hunt through Muddy Fields
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the glamorous world of society hunting with this comical illustration by H. M. Bateman. Captured in 1930, this humorous cartoon showcases a group of fashionably dressed men and women partaking in the sport of beagling. In this uproarious scene, we find ourselves amidst a ploughed, muddy field as our stylish protagonists follow a pack of foxhounds round and round in an endless circle. With their elegant attire now covered in dirt, these high-society individuals seem undeterred by the messy conditions they find themselves in. Bateman's witty portrayal perfectly captures the absurdity of this traditional pastime. The contrast between their refined appearance and the chaotic environment adds an extra layer of amusement to the scene. As they chase after an elusive hare, it becomes evident that their pursuit is more about socializing than actual success on the hunt. This delightful print not only provides entertainment but also offers insight into the leisure activities enjoyed by upper-class society during this era. It reminds us that even those at the pinnacle of refinement can't resist getting down and dirty for some lighthearted fun. So take a step back into history with "Beagling" - a whimsical reminder that sometimes even those who appear prim and proper are not immune to life's muddy adventures!
