Proof of Bottom, from The Pytchley Hunt - A Glimpse into the Thrilling World of English Fox Hunting
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the exhilarating sport of fox hunting in 18th-century England. Engraved by F. Jukes and brought to life through a vibrant color lithograph by Charles Lorraine Smith, this artwork titled "Proof of Bottom" offers viewers a glimpse into the heart-pounding action and picturesque beauty that defined this traditional rural pursuit. In this scene, we witness an English countryside setting with rolling hills and lush greenery as the backdrop. A skilled huntsman leads the way on horseback, expertly navigating his steed over a formidable fence while being closely followed by fellow riders. The tension is palpable as one rider named Dick Knight dismounts from his horse to assist in pulling another hunter across the obstacle. The image showcases not only the athleticism and bravery required for such equestrian pursuits but also highlights the strong bond between man and animal during these thrilling adventures. Horses play a vital role in fox hunting, serving as trusted companions who must overcome challenging terrains alongside their human counterparts. With its meticulous attention to detail and dynamic composition, "Proof of Bottom" transports us back to an era when fox hunting was at its zenith—a testament to both British sporting heritage and artistic excellence.
