EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "With the Devon and Somerset Staghounds, taking the Hounds to the Meet over Exford Bridge" transports us back to a bygone era of bloodsports and equestrian pursuits. Created by renowned artist William Barnes Wollen in 1899, this print captures a moment of anticipation as hunters prepare for their thrilling adventure. In this scene, we witness a group of majestic horses led by skilled riders crossing Exford Bridge in Somerset. The hounds eagerly follow behind, their senses heightened in anticipation of the hunt ahead. The atmosphere is charged with excitement as man and beast unite in pursuit of their shared passion. Wollen's attention to detail is remarkable; every horse's muscle seems taut with energy while each hound exudes an air of determination. The bridge itself stands as a symbol of connection between civilization and nature—a gateway into the untamed wilderness where these noble creatures will soon roam freely. This engraving not only showcases the beauty and grace inherent in hunting traditions but also offers us a glimpse into history—an era when such activities were deeply ingrained within society. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that allows us to reflect upon our relationship with animals and how it has evolved over time. As we admire this striking image from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate its aesthetic appeal while acknowledging its significance within the broader context of human-animal interactions throughout history.
