EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Coursing-Matches" we are transported back to the 19th century, where the thrill of coursing matches comes alive. The scene is set in a picturesque countryside, with a man proudly hoisting a victor's flag atop his home. His face radiates joy and satisfaction as he celebrates his triumphant win. The focus of the image lies on two magnificent greyhounds, their sleek bodies drawn tightly together as they race towards their prey. Their speed and agility are evident as they chase after hares that dart across the field. A judge watches intently from afar, ready to determine the winner. Amidst all the excitement, other elements come into play. Horses stand nearby, patiently waiting for their turn in this exhilarating hunt. A rail serves as both a barrier and a signaling point for participants to slip their dogs at precisely the right moment. In this vibrant depiction of coursing matches, every detail is meticulously captured - from the colorfully dressed spectators enjoying drinks while cheering on their favorites to farm animals grazing peacefully in the background. This print by S. T Dadd not only captures an intense sporting event but also provides us with a glimpse into rural life during that era. It reminds us of our deep connection with nature and how humans have long enjoyed engaging with animals in various forms of recreation and competition.
