EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century engraving, titled "Coursing with Greyhounds" is a print from the renowned publication "The Gentlemans Recreation" by Richard Blome. The image showcases an exhilarating scene of gentlemen engaging in the age-old pursuit of coursing, accompanied by their loyal greyhounds. Published in 1686, this work was part of a comprehensive two-part collection that encompassed both an Encyclopaedia of the Arts and Sciences and a treatise on outdoor pursuits for gentlemen. Richard Blome, the compiler and publisher, sought to provide a comprehensive guide for men interested in various leisure activities. In this particular illustration, we witness the thrill of hunting as these skilled hunters chase after hares or rabbits with their swift greyhounds. The composition exudes energy and movement as the dogs dash across open fields in hot pursuit. It beautifully captures not only the sport itself but also highlights man's harmonious relationship with nature. "The Gentlemans Recreation" stands as a testament to restoration literature and serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking insight into pastimes enjoyed by English gentlemen during that era. This exquisite engraving offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating both artistry and sporting prowess. Displayed within private collections today, this print continues to inspire admiration for its depiction of camaraderie between man and dog amidst thrilling outdoor pursuits.
