A Day at the Devils Dyke, with the Old Harriers
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that takes us back in time to witness a humorous and lively scene. The print, created by an unknown English School artist, captures the essence of a comical event that occurred at Devil's Dyke. In this black and white illustration, we are transported to a run-down countryside setting where old harriers gather for their annual gathering. The engraver skillfully portrays the characters' expressions and body language, evoking laughter from anyone who gazes upon it. The humor lies in the exaggerated features of these individuals as they engage in various activities throughout the day. Some are seen engaged in animated conversations while others partake in jovial games or indulge themselves with food and drink. It is evident that this gathering serves as an opportunity for merriment and camaraderie among these aging harriers. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "The Comic Annual" by Thomas Hood in 1831. Its inclusion within this publication showcases its intended purpose - to entertain readers through visual storytelling. With its whimsical charm and attention to detail, this engraving stands as a testament to both artistic skill and comedic sensibility of its time. As we admire this piece today, we can't help but appreciate how it transports us into a world filled with laughter and joy amidst the simplicity of rural life during the early 19th century.
