Old Fashioned Sporting Pictures, and the Road to Bygone Days; Trailing for a Hare,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an 1890 print from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," transports us back to the Victorian era and the world of British high society and their passion for hunting. The image captures a group of elegantly dressed men and women on horseback, engaged in the pursuit of a fox. The huntsman, dressed in traditional hunting attire, holds a hunting horn, signaling the hounds, who are seen in the foreground, eagerly following the scent of their quarry. The print showcases the fashion of the time, with the women wearing voluminous dresses and hats, while the men are dressed in tailored jackets and breeches. The background is filled with a crowd of onlookers, all dressed in their Sunday best, adding to the grandeur of the scene. However, the image also raises questions about animal cruelty and the ethical implications of blood sports. The fox, though not visible in the print, is the hunted prey, and the sight of the hounds in pursuit evokes a sense of unease in the modern viewer. The print serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the 1890s. It is a reminder of a time when hunting was a popular pastime among the upper classes, and the pursuit of game was considered a mark of status and refinement. Yet, it also highlights the contrast between the past and the present, and the changing attitudes towards animal welfare and the role of sport in society. Overall, "Old Fashioned Sporting Pictures, and the Road to Bygone Days; Trailing for a Hare," is a captivating and thought-provoking piece of historical art that invites us to reflect on the past and the evolution of societal values.
