EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches at the Waterloo Cup Meeting" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of excitement and anticipation. The scene is set amidst vast bogs, where a group of men can be seen engrossed in their sketches. It is evident that they are deeply involved in deciding the course for an upcoming event. The focal point of this artwork revolves around two magnificent greyhounds, aptly named Conquering Nero and Fullerton. These majestic creatures stand tall with an air of confidence as they prepare to showcase their speed and agility during the hare coursing competition. Intriguingly, amidst all the action, there is a sense of compassion captured within this print. A man can be seen rescuing a hare from its imminent fate, perhaps symbolizing humanity's innate desire to protect those who are vulnerable. This engraving not only serves as a visual documentation of historical events but also offers insight into popular pastimes during that era. The presence of Ellimans suggests sponsorship or endorsement by this well-known brand associated with animal care products. Overall, "Sketches at the Waterloo Cup Meeting" transports us back in time to witness both the thrill and tenderness present in this exhilarating sporting event. This print stands as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's beauty and our ongoing quest for triumph over challenges.
