This is an etching or illustration that depicts a scene from a hunt, but with an amusing twist. It features a group of greyhounds in mid-chase, stretched out in full sprint across the foreground of the image. These dogs are exceptionally thin and lithe, suggesting they are racing or coursing breeds, known for their speed. Their focus seems to be beyond the frame, as none of them are looking at the unlikely quarry – a tortoise, which is humorously included in the scene as part of the title (noted in the bottom right), "A RACE—NOT WITH A TORTOISE." In the background to the left, a group of mounted hunters is also in pursuit, but they, too, seem oblivious to the tortoise, which humorously contradicts the expected prey in a traditional hunting scene. Above the greyhounds, two other dogs are depicted in midair, having presumably leapt over an obstacle or possibly the tortoise, which is not visible due to its slow speed. The artist's signature is in the bottom right corner, and there are inscriptions at the bottom that read "P. Riviere del" (del could stand for delineavit, indicating the person who drew the original design) and "Huyot Sculp" (Sculp may stand for sculptor, indicating the person who made the engraving or printing plate). On the left, there's script that seems to say "La chasse," French for "The hunt." The classic contrasting elements of speed with the tortoise create a scene filled with irony and a touch of humor.

The image is a detailed black and white illustration depicting a dramatic and somewhat humorous scene of a hunting or racing event. In the foreground, there are three slender, athletic dogs, possibly greyhounds, in full stride as they race across a grassy field. One of the dogs is airborne, having leapt into the air, capturing the dynamic motion of the chase. In the background, a group of mounted riders can be seen, likely hunters on horseback, riding in formation as they follow the dogs. The sky above is filled with swirling clouds, adding a sense of movement and urgency to the scene. The caption at the bottom amusingly reads, "A Race—Not With a Tortoise," suggesting a competitive chase with swift animals, humorously contrasting with the slow pace of a tortoise. The illustration style is reminiscent of 19th-century engravings, with fine lines and detailed shading, capturing both the intensity and the playful nature of the moment. The names "P. Prior" and "Huyo" are handwritten at the bottom, likely indicating the artist and the engraver.

This is a historical engraving titled "A Race—Not with a Tortoise." The image shows a dramatic hunting scene where greyhounds or similar hunting dogs are chasing what appears to be a hare or rabbit across a field. In the distance, a group of horseback riders can be seen following the chase. The composition is dynamic, showing the dogs in full sprint with one dog leaping through the air. The artwork appears to be a black and white engraving or print, with fine detail in the grass, clouds, and animals. The title makes a humorous reference to Aesop's fable "The Tortoise and the Hare," but in this case, the hare is being pursued by swift dogs rather than racing against a tortoise.

This black and white illustration depicts a dramatic hunting scene. In the foreground, several hunting dogs are attacking a large turtle or tortoise, with one dog leaping onto the turtle's back. The dogs appear to be pursuing the turtle across a grassy field. In the background, a group of hunters on horseback are galloping across the landscape, likely in pursuit of the fleeing turtle and dogs. The sky is filled with stormy clouds, adding to the sense of action and intensity in the scene. The illustration is titled "A Race - Not With A Tortoise" at the bottom, suggesting the scene portrays an unusual hunt where the prey is not the typical slow-moving tortoise of the famous fable, but a more formidable quarry engaged in a frantic chase with the hunting party and their dogs. The style appears to be a vintage engraving or etching.
