EDITORS COMMENTS
This image of a Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus) was captured in the late 19th century, around 1870. The photograph, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, when the art of photography was still in its infancy. The Brown Hare, a common European species, is depicted in its natural habitat, showcasing its agile and graceful form. Brown Hares were once hunted extensively for their meat, fur, and sport. In medieval Europe, the hare was considered a symbol of fertility and rebirth, and its meat was believed to have medicinal properties. However, by the 19th century, the hare population had declined significantly due to overhunting and habitat loss. This photograph, taken during a time when the Brown Hare was still relatively abundant, provides a valuable record of the animal's appearance and behavior. The hare in the image is shown in a relaxed pose, with its ears laid back and its body at ease. Its fur is a rich, chestnut brown color, and its eyes are bright and alert. The historical context of this photograph is also noteworthy. The 1870s marked a period of great change in Europe, with the Industrial Revolution transforming the continent and the rise of new technologies, including photography. This image of a Brown Hare is a testament to the power of photography to capture moments in time and preserve them for future generations to appreciate. Today, the Brown Hare remains an important species in European ecosystems, and efforts are being made to protect its populations and habitats. This photograph serves as a reminder of the beauty and importance of the natural world, and the role that photography can play in documenting and preserving it for future generations.
