The Waterloo Cup, Notes at Altcar
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment of excitement and anticipation. The image showcases a line of battle-ready greyhounds, their sleek bodies exuding power and grace. With their eyes fixed on the field ahead, these magnificent creatures await their turn in the thrilling sport of hare coursing. The scene is set against the backdrop of Altcar, where spectators gather to witness this prestigious event. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of Fullerton's cab, hinting at the bustling atmosphere surrounding this grand occasion. The artist skillfully portrays every detail – from the buckles adorning each dog's collar to the notes being exchanged among competitors. This print not only celebrates an exhilarating competition but also pays homage to history itself. Referencing the famous Battle of Waterloo with its title "The Waterloo Cup" it draws parallels between two different arenas where rivalries are fiercely contested. As we delve into this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time – hearing cheers from enthusiastic onlookers and feeling our hearts race as we anticipate who will emerge victorious in this tug-of-war between man and beast. This engraving serves as both a testament to artistic talent and an invitation for us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone but forever preserved through art.
