EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving titled "Two Greyhounds, from The Natural History of Animals, 1859". Created by the American School in the 19th century, this exquisite piece is now part of a private collection. The image captures two majestic greyhounds in all their grace and elegance. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every stroke brings these magnificent creatures to life. With their slender bodies and sleek coats, the greyhounds exude power and agility. Their piercing gazes suggest an unwavering focus on their surroundings. Set against a backdrop of rabbits and hares, this artwork hints at the dogs' natural hunting instincts. It offers us a glimpse into the world of coursing - an ancient sport where greyhounds would chase after small game like rabbits. The presence of a walking stick or cane adds an intriguing element to the composition. Perhaps it symbolizes human intervention or control over these wild animals. As we admire this enchanting engraving, we are reminded of nature's beauty and diversity. It serves as a testament to our fascination with animals throughout history and invites us to appreciate both their physical prowess and inherent vulnerability. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that not only celebrates artistry but also sparks curiosity about our relationship with animals in different eras.
