EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures a scene of relaxation and camaraderie as fox hunters unwind before a roaring fire in the opulent surroundings of a grand mansion. The renowned English caricaturist and illustrator, John Leech, masterfully depicts this moment of respite after an exhilarating hunt. In the foreground, we see Jack Bunting comfortably settled in a rocking chair, his muttonchop whiskers framing his contented smile. Jug Boyston occupies two chairs nearby, perhaps indulging in some post-hunt banter with his fellow hunters. Meanwhile, Jovey Jessop stands mud-splattered but undeterred by the day's exertions. The setting itself is nothing short of magnificent – Appleton Hall exudes elegance and wealth with its stately architecture and lavish furnishings. The handcoloured steel engraving brings to life every intricate detail of this Victorian-era manor house. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice various elements that add charm and character to the scene: comics strewn on a table, tobacco packets resting on mantelpieces, and cigar smoke wafting through the air. These small touches reveal not only their smoking addiction but also their penchant for humor amidst their noble pursuits. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into both the leisurely moments enjoyed by fox hunters during this era and John Leech's exceptional talent for capturing comical yet relatable scenes from everyday life.
