EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the intricate artwork of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. This piece takes us back to 19th century Britain, offering a glimpse into various aspects of human-animal interaction during that time. At its center, we see a detailed depiction of wild and domesticated rabbits, highlighting their significance in agriculture and as pets. Surrounding this central image are several vignettes capturing different scenes related to rabbits and hares. From children cherishing their pet bunnies in hutches to furriers selling fashionable items made from rabbit fur, each vignette tells a unique story about the role these animals played in Victorian society. The lithograph also sheds light on some controversial practices prevalent during that era. We witness blood sports like hare coursing with dogs, where hunting was turned into entertainment. Additionally, there is an illustration depicting a skin dealer purchasing skins from a cook or housewife for commercial purposes. Through this thought-provoking composition, Hawkins and Thomas Varty's collaboration aims to educate viewers about the multifaceted relationship between humans and animals at the time. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of occupations such as game dealing and hat making using rabbit fur. "The Hare and the Rabbit" print offers us not only visual delight but also prompts reflection on how our interactions with animals have evolved over time – reminding us of our responsibility towards them even today.
