EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the last remaining Otter Hound in Britain in 1812, owned by the Hon. Mr. Leslie, son of Sir Lucas Pepys. The image is a copperplate engraving created by H. R. Cook after a painting by Henry Bernard Chalon, featured in The Sporting Magazine. The portrait captures the essence of this endangered breed with remarkable detail and precision. The Otter Hound stands proudly against a backdrop of lush countryside, exuding strength and elegance. Its long ears droop gracefully as it gazes into the distance, perhaps reflecting on its role as one of the few remaining representatives of its kind. During this Regency era, hunting was an esteemed sport among British aristocracy, making this portrait all the more significant. Otter hunting was particularly popular during that time, and these hounds were highly valued for their exceptional tracking abilities. The print not only celebrates the beauty and majesty of this magnificent creature but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect endangered species like the Otter Hound from extinction. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, this print is sure to captivate admirers of both fine art and natural history alike. It serves as a timeless testament to Britain's rich sporting heritage while highlighting our ongoing efforts to preserve biodiversity for future generations to appreciate.
