EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Altcar Meeting, some of the Competitors for the Waterloo Cup at Exercise" takes us back to a bygone era of exhilarating bloodsports and equestrian pursuits. Created by John Charlton in 1893, this print captures the essence of a thrilling event that once captivated audiences. In this scene, we witness a group of competitors gathered together during an exercise session. The focus is on the magnificent greyhounds - sleek and powerful creatures bred for coursing - as they are prepared for their upcoming challenge. Their lean bodies exude strength and agility, ready to chase down their prey with unmatched speed. Surrounding these majestic canines are horsemen mounted on noble steeds. These riders epitomize grace and skill as they guide their horses through the training grounds. With each stride, both horse and rider demonstrate an unbreakable bond forged through countless hours spent perfecting their craft. The Altcar Meeting was renowned for hosting one of the most prestigious events in coursing history - The Waterloo Cup. This annual competition brought together elite dogs from across Britain to showcase their prowess in chasing hares across vast open fields. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving, we cannot help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand the excitement that filled those who attended such events. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with nature's finest athletes - dogs and horses alike - whose skills continue to captivate us even today.
