EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century captures a dramatic moment as two men desperately flee from a kicking horse, their fear palpable. The image is taken from Foress Sporting Notes and Sketches, a Quarterly Magazine Descriptive of British, Indian, Colonial and Foreign Sport, Vol IX (Fores & Co, London, 1892), showcasing the danger and excitement of equestrian pursuits during that era. The black and white composition adds to the intensity of the scene, emphasizing the raw emotions experienced by both man and beast. The horse's powerful kick symbolizes its untamed nature while also representing the inherent risks involved in working with these majestic creatures. As spectators today, we can almost feel their panic as they escape from this perilous situation. This engraving serves as a reminder of how our ancestors navigated dangerous encounters with animals for leisure and entertainment purposes. It also highlights the bravery required to face such challenges head-on or make quick escapes when necessary. Through this historic artwork captured by an unknown English School artist in the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling moment filled with adrenaline and trepidation. It stands as a testament to human resilience in confronting danger while providing us with valuable insights into our shared history.
