EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wiltshire Champion Coursing Meeting at Stonehenge: A Glimpse into the Past". This engraving by George Bouverie Goddard takes us back to a momentous event in history - The Wiltshire Champion Coursing Meeting at Stonehenge. Created for The Illustrated London News in 1865, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into an ancient sporting tradition. The scene is set against the backdrop of the iconic Stonehenge, its majestic stones standing tall and mysterious. In the foreground, we witness a thrilling spectacle unfold as greyhound dogs and horses gallop across the open fields. Their agility and speed are on full display as they engage in hare coursing, a popular hunting sport of that era. Goddard's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intense expressions on the faces of spectators to the graceful movements of both animals and humans alike. This artwork not only captures a significant historical event but also showcases how our relationship with nature has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this extraordinary print, we are transported back centuries ago when people gathered at Stonehenge for more than just its enigmatic allure. It reminds us that even amidst ancient monuments, human passions have always found their place - be it through sports or other forms of recreation. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, allowing us to appreciate art's ability to preserve moments frozen in time forever.
