EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Full Cry" we are transported to the enchanting world of Victorian hunting. The scene, beautifully captured by Henry Thomas Alken and engraved by John Harris in 1859, showcases the exhilarating pursuit of hounds and riders galloping through a picturesque rural landscape. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the excitement and energy of the chase. We can almost feel the wind rushing past us as we witness these skilled equestrians navigating their way through dense forests and open fields. The scent of adventure hangs in the air, mingling with nature's own fragrances. The hounds, with their noses keenly attuned to every trace of scent, lead the way with unwavering determination. Their tails held high in anticipation, they follow an invisible trail that only they can perceive. It is a testament to their training and instinctive abilities. This print captures not only a thrilling sporting event but also serves as a window into Victorian society's love for outdoor pursuits. Hunting was not merely about sport; it represented tradition, camaraderie, and an escape from urban confines into nature's embrace. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us be reminded of our connection to history and appreciate how art has preserved moments like these for generations to come.
