EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1792 titled "Old English Wolf Hunting" takes us back to a time when hunting was not just a sport, but a way of life. The scene depicts a pack of hounds fiercely fighting over the carcass of a dead wolf, while hunters armed with spears follow closely behind. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Prattent beautifully captures the intensity and drama of this ancient bloodsport. In the backdrop, we see lush green vegetation stretching as far as the eye can see, creating an atmospheric landscape for this thrilling hunt. The image transports us to early 18th century Britain, where such hunts were considered state affairs and an integral part of British culture. The presence of various dog breeds in the artwork adds depth to the composition - from collies guarding their masters' sides to playful puppies frolicking around. This serves as a reminder that dogs have long been loyal companions in these noble pursuits. As we admire this historical print, it is important to acknowledge that our relationship with wildlife has evolved significantly since then. While once celebrated as an exhilarating pastime for noblemen and gentlemen, today's perspective on hunting has shifted towards conservation and respect for animal welfare. Nevertheless, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era gone by – one filled with adventure and excitement amidst nature's vast beauty. It stands as both a testament to our shared history and a reminder of how much society has changed over time.
