Ratting in the Hedgerows - A Glimpse into 19th Century Sporting Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Ratting in the Hedgerows" takes us back to a bygone era of sporting pursuits and rural pastimes. Created as an engraving by S. T. Dadd in the 19th century, this artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into a popular activity of that time. The scene depicted showcases a group of enthusiastic rat hunters accompanied by their loyal dogs, eagerly searching for their quarry amidst the dense hedgerows. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; each dog's distinctive breed and character are vividly portrayed, capturing both their determination and excitement. Originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on March 12,1881, this print captures not only the thrill of ratting but also provides valuable insight into social customs and leisure activities during that period. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, it serves as a reminder of how our relationship with animals has evolved over time. Ratting was once considered a popular sport or form of pest control but is now seen differently due to changing attitudes towards animal welfare. Through its historical context and artistic excellence, "Ratting in the Hedgerows" invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind this enchanting engraving.
