EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the intense final round of the Waterloo Cup in Great Altcar, Lancashire, in 1892. The image showcases two skilled competitors, Fullerton and Fitzfife, engaged in a thrilling display of hare coursing. Published as an illustration for Black & White magazine on March 12th that year, this print offers a glimpse into the late 19th-century British sporting scene. Hare coursing was a popular field sport during this era but also faced criticism due to its cruelty towards animals. In this artwork, we witness greyhounds chasing after a hare with great speed and determination. The dogs' athleticism is evident as they sprint across the countryside in pursuit of their prey. The setting exudes an air of Victorian charm with its picturesque English landscape serving as a backdrop to the action-packed race. This historic event attracted spectators from all walks of life who gathered to witness these remarkable canine athletes compete for victory. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as both a testament to Britain's rich sporting heritage and a reminder of our evolving attitudes towards animal welfare over time.
