EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving titled "Hare Hunting" takes us back in time to witness a thrilling scene of British countryside recreation. Created by Daniel Dodd and engraved by J. Pass, this handcoloured copperplate print captures the essence of an exhilarating hunt. In the image, we see a huntsman mounted on his horse, skillfully leading a pack of beagles as they chase after a hare. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene, highlighting the excitement and energy of the pursuit. This artwork is part of William Augustus Osbaldistons' comprehensive book, "The British Sportsman" which served as a dictionary for nobleman, gentlemen, and farmers seeking recreational activities during that era. The composition showcases several elements associated with hunting: weapons such as guns and rifles are prominently displayed alongside horses - racehorses, ponies, shire horses - emphasizing their importance in this bloodsport. Dogs play a crucial role too; collie dogs can be seen assisting in tracking down prey while also serving as loyal companions to their human counterparts. This engraving provides us with insight into early 18th-century hunting practices in Great Britain. It serves not only as an artistic representation but also as historical documentation of traditional pastimes enjoyed by both aristocracy and commoners alike. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection at Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where nature's beauty intertwined with man's pursuit for sport and adventure.
