EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned English artist and printmaker, Thomas Rowlandson in 1903, depicts a thrilling moment during the Waterloo Cup, a historic hare coursing event that once drew large crowds in England. The Waterloo Cup, a blood sport that involved two greyhounds chasing and catching a hare, was a popular spectacle from the 18th to the early 20th centuries. In this image, the tension and excitement are palpable as the two greyhounds, their muscles taut and eyes focused, give chase to the hare, which darts through the grass, its brown coat blending seamlessly with the earth beneath its feet. The hare's quick movements and the greyhounds' determination create a dynamic and captivating scene. The Waterloo Cup, which took place annually at Catton Park in Norfolk, England, was one of the most prestigious hare coursing events in the country. The sport, however, was controversial and faced increasing opposition from animal welfare groups and the public, leading to its eventual abolition in 2005. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when hare coursing was a popular pastime and a source of entertainment for many. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the chase and the natural instincts of the animals involved. Despite its controversial history, the photograph remains a significant piece of historical documentation, capturing a moment in time that is both beautiful and thought-provoking.
