EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Coursing, slipping the Greyhounds" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of intense excitement and anticipation. The engraving, created by S. T. Dadd and now held in a private collection, showcases the thrilling sport of hare coursing. In this scene, we witness the grace and power of greyhounds as they are released from their leashes to chase after a hare. The dogs' sleek bodies are frozen mid-air as they bound forward with incredible speed, their eyes fixed on their elusive prey. The intensity of the hunt is palpable; you can almost hear the thunderous sound of paws hitting the ground. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable - every muscle in both hound and hare seems alive with energy. As viewers, we find ourselves drawn into this ancient bloodsport that has captivated humans for centuries. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on February 12th, 1887. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with animals throughout history - where hunting was once seen as an honorable pursuit rather than controversial bloodsports. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from its Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today. This print not only captures a historical moment but also invites us to reflect on our evolving attitudes towards animal welfare over time.
