EDITORS COMMENTS
Chase of a Jackal, in the New Forest, 1850" is an intriguing print depicting an exhilarating hunting scene in the heart of Hampshire, England. The image captures the thrill of the chase as hunters and their hounds pursue a large and ferocious jackal through the rugged New Forest terrain. The scene is set in the 19th century, with hunters dressed in traditional hunting attire, donning tall top hats and heavy coats. The pack of foxhounds, known for their distinctive red coats and white collars, are seen galloping through the countryside, their noses to the ground, following the scent of their quarry. The jackal, a rare sight in the New Forest, had been kept a secret due to the crowds that would inevitably gather to witness the hunt. The place of its release had been shrouded in secrecy, but when the jackal arrived at Lyndhurst, the excitement was palpable. The chase begins, and the pack quickly picks up the scent. However, an unexpected obstacle arises when a herd of fallow deer crosses the railway, causing both the hounds and the deer to scatter in fear. The jackal, sensing the confusion, turns suddenly to the right into some strong gorse, disappearing from sight. Despite the challenges, the hunters and their hounds continue the pursuit, determined to secure their quarry. The print captures the essence of rural life in the 19th century, a time when hunting was a popular pastime and the New Forest was a favorite hunting ground for the British aristocracy. This engraved print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the beauty of the New Forest, the excitement of the chase, and the traditional clothing and customs of the time.
