This coloured engraving titled "Coursing Matches" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of leisurely pursuits and social gatherings. The print, created by S. T. Dadd and hand-coloured in the Victorian style, showcases a lively scene filled with dogs, horses, and hares. In this illustration from the Illustrated London News dated February 25th, 1882, we witness an exciting coursing match unfolding before our eyes. Hounds eagerly chase after hares while their owners on horseback closely follow the action. The image exudes energy as these magnificent animals race across open fields. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving. From the elegant posture of the horses to the determination etched onto each dog's face, it is clear that this piece captures not only a sporting event but also highlights humanity's deep connection with animals. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we are transported to a time when hunting was considered both a recreational activity and a display of status within society. This print serves as a window into history - shedding light on cultural practices prevalent during that era. With its rich historical context and stunning visual composition, "Coursing Matches" offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate artistry while reflecting upon past traditions involving wildlife and human-animal relationships.
