EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century takes us back to a time when Russian sledging and coursing were popular sports. Coursing, a thrilling pursuit of game using mainly dogs, was an age-old tradition that showcased the skill and agility of both canines and their human counterparts. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness hunters on horseback eagerly participating in this blood sport. The image exudes history as it showcases the determination etched on their faces while they navigate through snowy landscapes with their trusty steeds. The horses' breath visible in the cold air adds an element of authenticity to this archival gem. The star attractions of this spectacle are undoubtedly the greyhounds - sleek, muscular creatures bred for speed and endurance. These magnificent dogs stand poised at attention, ready to spring into action at any moment. Their presence is a testament to centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. As we delve deeper into this illustration's details, we find ourselves transported back to a bygone era where man's connection with nature was intertwined with exhilarating pursuits like hunting. This photograph serves as a reminder of our historical roots while also highlighting the unique bond between humans and animals that has shaped our shared past. London Pictures published this remarkable piece in 1890, preserving not only Russia's rich cultural heritage but also offering us glimpses into forgotten sporting traditions that have since evolved or disappeared altogether.
