A Likely Draw
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the world of bloodsports and hunting in the late 19th century. Created by Heywood Hardy, a renowned English artist, this print captures a moment of anticipation and excitement. The scene depicts a group of hunters on horseback, accompanied by their loyal dogs, as they prepare for what seems to be an imminent encounter with their prey. The composition skillfully portrays the tension in the air; both horses and hounds appear restless, eager to embark on the chase. The intricate details bring every element to life - from the muscular bodies of the dogs to the determined expressions on each hunter's face. It is evident that Hardy has masterfully captured not only physical attributes but also emotions within this artwork. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an era when such activities were considered noble pursuits rather than controversial practices. While it may evoke mixed feelings today due to changing societal values towards animal welfare, it serves as a historical record reminding us of our past traditions. Displayed in private collections around the world, this print showcases Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving and sharing remarkable works from various periods. As we admire "A Likely Draw" let us appreciate its artistic merit while reflecting upon how our perspectives have evolved over time regarding these once-popular sporting events.
