EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Cub-Hunting, a Spin across the Moor" takes us back to the 19th century British countryside. Created by John Charlton and published in The Graphic on September 22,1894, this artwork offers a glimpse into the thrilling world of fox hunting. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a vast moorland as hunters embark on an exhilarating chase. A group of elegantly dressed riders mounted on their majestic steeds gallop across the rugged terrain with great determination. Their faces are filled with anticipation as they follow their pack of hounds who eagerly lead the way. The artist masterfully captures the energy and excitement of cub hunting - a traditional practice where young foxes were pursued to train both horses and hounds for future hunts. This controversial bloodsport was popular among aristocrats during that era. As we observe this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, it is impossible not to be drawn into its dynamic composition. The detailed depiction showcases not only the skillful technique employed by Charlton but also his ability to convey movement and emotion through his engravings. This artwork serves as a historical testament to a pastime deeply rooted in British culture while simultaneously igniting discussions about animal welfare and ethical practices surrounding hunting sports today.
