EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of 19th-century hunting scenes, showcasing the thrilling pursuit of foxes in the English countryside. Titled "Hunting Sketches" this colour lithograph by G. L. Harrison transports us back to a time when equestrian sports and rural leisure were at their peak. The top illustration depicts an exhilarating moment as the varmint is spotted crossing a path, prompting a cry of "Tally Ho!" from eager hunters. The bottom illustration showcases the excitement that ensues as hounds burst out of cover, horses gallop through woods, and men join in with merry shouts. The energy and frenzy are palpable. Originally published as part of an Extra Supplement to the Illustrated London News on November 15,1884, these engravings offer a glimpse into Victorian society's love for outdoor pursuits and showcase the close bond between man and horse during hunts. With its rich historical context and detailed illustrations, this artwork provides not only visual pleasure but also serves as a window into an era where hunting was seen as both sport and social activity. It encapsulates the spirit of adventure that defined rural life in England during that time. This print from Fine Art Finder's Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection invites us to appreciate not just the artistry but also the cultural significance behind these hunting scenes—a testament to our enduring fascination with wildlife, sporting traditions, and our connection to nature throughout history.
