EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Hare Coursing 1809," showcases the thrill and intensity of an ancient hunting tradition. Two hare-hounds, their powerful muscles tensed and eyes focused, relentlessly pursue a hare through the lush, green countryside. The hounds' master, clad in hunting attire, is not far behind, his expression a mix of determination and anticipation. However, the cunning hare, with its agile limbs and quick movements, manages to maintain a slim lead, darting through the undergrowth in a graceful yet evasive dance. The scene depicted in this print harks back to the 18th and 19th centuries, an era when hare coursing was a popular and widespread hunting practice. The sport, which involved setting two hounds after a hare to exhaust it, was considered a test of the dogs' speed and endurance. The hare, however, was not merely a passive participant; its ability to outmaneuver the hounds and escape was a source of great pride and admiration for many. Despite the hare's best efforts, the ultimate goal of the hunt was to capture the hare and bring it to the supper table. The hare, once caught, would be jugged, or cooked in a pot with various herbs and spices, and served as a delicacy. This print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, offers a glimpse into the rich history of hare coursing and the complex relationship between man, hound, and hare during this fascinating period in time. The print, which is circa 1750, is a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring allure of the natural world. Its historical significance and intricate details make it a valuable addition to any collection, offering a unique insight into the world of hunting and the natural world during the 18th and 19th centuries.
