EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Hare coursing in England" takes us back to the Victorian era, where leisure activities like this blood sport were popular among British riders. The print showcases a thrilling chase as animals and riders gallop across the picturesque countryside of England. The scene is filled with energy and excitement as greyhounds, accompanied by their skilled handlers on horseback, pursue a hare through open fields. The horses are seen at full speed, their powerful strides reflecting the intensity of the race. The determination on the faces of both humans and animals adds to the drama unfolding before our eyes. This artwork not only captures a moment in sporting history but also provides insight into British culture during that time. Hare coursing was considered an exhilarating pastime for many Britons who enjoyed outdoor pursuits and field sports. It offers a glimpse into an era when such activities were embraced as part of everyday life. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this digitally cleaned image from Album du Grand Journal, published in Paris in 1864. Through this print, we can appreciate both the skillful technique employed by Edmond Morin and his ability to convey movement and action within a static medium. As we admire this historical piece, let us reflect on how times have changed while appreciating its artistic merit that continues to captivate audiences today.
