EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph titled "Coursing" takes us back to the English countryside, where rural life and traditional pastimes thrived. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration originally created for Henry Downes Miles' book "English Country Life". The scene depicts a thrilling hunt in progress, as coursing enthusiasts eagerly pursue their prey across vast green pastures. The vibrant colors bring the rural landscape to life, immersing viewers in the picturesque beauty of England's countryside. Coursing was a popular sport during this era and often considered a form of entertainment for the elite. It involved chasing after hares using trained dogs known as greyhounds or whippets. This bloodsport provided both excitement and spectacle for those participating in it. Amidst the rolling hills and open fields, we catch glimpses of wildlife animals like the Syrian hare darting through the landscape. The lithograph captures not only the thrill of hunting but also celebrates nature's beauty and diversity. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported to a bygone era when ball games were played parlour-style and country pursuits were cherished traditions. This print serves as a visual reminder of our connection to history and how art can preserve moments that might otherwise be forgotten.
