A Hunting Family - A Glimpse into the 19th Century English Countryside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "A Hunting Family" offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of an affluent English family during the 19th century. The artwork, originally published in The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1878, showcases the Huntbatch family engaging in their beloved hunting tradition. The scene unfolds at Squire Huntbatch's Oak Hall estate as they eagerly prepare for a day of exhilarating bloodsports. Arriving on horseback and carriage, accompanied by loyal hounds and armed forces personnel from both navy and army backgrounds, this united family radiates excitement. The masterful illustration captures every detail - from the burning scent that entices the fox to the majestic hunter leading the pack. Even young schoolboy Johnny H is seen participating enthusiastically alongside his relatives Miss H Darling, Jas H, Bob H, Cob, David H, and many others. As they set off on their noble pursuit through picturesque countryside landscapes and cover sides thick with foliage, one can almost hear their cries echoing through time. The old mare gracefully carries her riders while carriage horses add elegance to this vibrant tableau. This remarkable piece not only celebrates a cherished pastime but also provides valuable insights into social dynamics within Victorian society. It serves as a testament to enduring traditions passed down through generations and reminds us of our connection to nature even amidst changing times. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to
