Tis The Pace That Kills, 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating antique Victorian print that captures the essence of a fox hunt in all its glory and cruelty. In this striking image, we witness a horse standing amidst the chaos of the chase, displaying clear signs of exhaustion. Its heaving chest and sweat-soaked coat tell a story of relentless pursuit and physical strain. Fox hunting, an age-old British tradition depicted here, involved trained hounds tracking down and sometimes killing foxes while being followed by unarmed individuals on foot or horseback. This print from "The Connoisseur Vol XXX" published by Otto Limited in London during 1911, offers us a glimpse into the early 20th-century world where such activities were celebrated. The scene showcases men dressed in traditional hunting attire - jackets adorned with vibrant reds - as they partake in this exhilarating yet controversial sport. While some may view it as an elegant display of horsemanship and camaraderie, others see it as animal cruelty at its worst. As we gaze upon this historic portrait captured over a century ago, let us reflect on the ethical implications surrounding fox hunting and consider how societal values have evolved since then. It serves as both a reminder of our past cultural practices and an opportunity to question our relationship with animals today.
