EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Louis Wain takes us back to the Waterloo Coursing Meeting, held at Altcar near Liverpool in 1889. The artist skillfully captures the excitement and energy of this prestigious event, which was a highlight for greyhound enthusiasts and coursing aficionados. The scene is alive with action as we witness the thrilling chase between these magnificent dogs. Wain's attention to detail allows us to appreciate every aspect of the race, from the sleek form of the greyhounds to their determined expressions as they pursue their prey across classic ground. Intriguingly, amidst all this intensity, there are subtle hints of social commentary. The presence of figures such as "Unionists" and "Hartington" suggests that even in this sporting arena, politics played a role. And what about that curious mention of "lobster sauce"? Perhaps it symbolizes an extravagant indulgence enjoyed by those who came from blue-blooded backgrounds. Wain's masterful use of black and white adds depth and contrast to his composition, enhancing our immersion into this historical moment. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel connected to a bygone era when hare coursing events like the Waterloo Cup were eagerly anticipated occasions. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' restoration efforts on this artwork from their private collection, we can now admire Wain's intricate sketches once again. This print serves as both a testament to his artistic talent and a window into an important chapter in
