About the Item
The engraving shows "His Majesty's Dog Kennel at Ascot," a facility associated with the royal hunting grounds near Ascot, England. This artwork reflects the importance of hunting as a royal pastime and the infrastructure dedicated to maintaining hunting hounds.
The scene depicts a substantial kennel building with two prominent wings and a central section. A group of hounds is seen in the courtyard, indicating this was an active kennel used for housing and managing hunting dogs. Several figures on horseback, possibly royal huntsmen or keepers, are present, suggesting a scene of preparation or training for a hunt. The architecture of the kennel suggests functionality combined with a level of sophistication appropriate for a royal establishment.
Historical Context
Hunting, particularly fox hunting, was a popular activity among the British aristocracy and royalty, often seen as a demonstration of skill and status. Ascot, located in Berkshire, has long been associated with royal leisure activities, including the famous Ascot Racecourse. The presence of a royal kennel underscores the importance of maintaining well-bred and trained hounds for these hunts.
Significance of Royal Kennels
Royal kennels such as this one would have been managed by a Master of the Hounds, a position of considerable responsibility. The care, breeding, and training of hounds required significant resources, and such facilities were essential for ensuring the success of royal hunts, which were both a sport and a social occasion. These kennels were symbols of royal power and prestige, showcasing the resources and dedication of the monarchy to traditional pastimes.
While this specific royal kennel may no longer be in existence, the tradition of royal hunting continues in various forms. Ascot remains a location synonymous with royal events, most notably the Ascot Racecourse and Royal Ascot, a major annual horse racing event attended by members of the British Royal Family.
