The Death of the Hare with the Fleet Hounds - A Glimpse into 17th Century Outdoor Pursuits
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a scene from "The Gentlemans Recreation" a renowned publication by Richard Blome in 1686. The image showcases an exquisite engraving created by an anonymous English School artist, depicting the thrilling moment when a hare meets its fate at the hands of fleet hounds. Blome's work was divided into two parts - an Encyclopaedia of the Arts and Sciences, and a treatise on outdoor pursuits for gentlemen. This particular illustration belongs to the latter section, focusing on hunting as a popular sport during that era. In this vivid portrayal, we witness men indulging in one of their favorite leisure activities - chasing game in pursuit of excitement and adventure. The dogs are shown in full stride, displaying their remarkable speed and agility as they close in on their prey. The tension is palpable as both hunters and hounds eagerly anticipate capturing the elusive hare. Not only does this artwork provide us with insight into Restoration-era literature and illustrations but it also offers us glimpses into how gentlemen spent their free time centuries ago. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature, sportsmanship, and outdoor pursuits throughout history. This intriguing print transports us back to a time when hunting was not just about survival but also served as entertainment for those seeking thrills amidst picturesque landscapes.
