EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the 19th century, titled "Throwing Off" we are transported back in time to witness a thrilling moment of rural sport and leisure. The image showcases an English hunting scene, with all its historical charm and elegance. A group of well-dressed riders on horseback stands at the forefront, ready to embark on their exhilarating pursuit. Their horses exude strength and grace as they eagerly await the command to start. In the distance, a pack of hounds can be seen, their excitement palpable as they prepare for the chase. The artist masterfully captures the energy and anticipation that fills the air before a fox hunt begins. The composition is rich in detail, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also the intricate attire worn by both riders and hounds. This print serves as a reminder of how pastimes like hunting were once cherished activities that brought communities together while celebrating both human skill and animal instinct. It offers us a glimpse into an era when such pursuits were considered essential elements of country life. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are reminded of our connection to history and how these age-old traditions continue to shape our understanding of sportsmanship today.
