A Paper Chase in Surrey
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the exhilarating pursuit of a traditional English sport amidst the picturesque landscapes of Surrey. This 19th-century engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, transports us back to a time when horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also a thrilling pastime. In this scene, we witness the heart-pounding moment as hounds and horses gallop through open fields in hot pursuit of elusive hares. The tension is palpable as riders navigate their steeds with skill and determination, their eyes fixed on the prize. The enchanting beauty of Surrey's countryside serves as a stunning backdrop for this adrenaline-fueled chase. As the chase unfolds, it becomes evident that some hares have found sanctuary within dense thickets or cleverly concealed burrows. These cunning creatures manage to outwit their pursuers momentarily, adding an element of suspense to the print. Yet there is no doubt that both humans and animals are fully immersed in this spirited competition. The artwork encapsulates not only the excitement but also the deep-rooted traditions associated with paper chases during that era. It offers us a glimpse into a world where horseriding skills were honed and camaraderie among participants flourished. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind its creation and our shared human fascination with equestrian pursuits set against nature's breathtaking canvas.
