Blowing the hunter's horn through the crisp autumn air, a tradition as old as the 14th century manuscript "Livre de Roy du Modus" by Henri de Ferrieres. This ancient call echoes through the forest, summoning loyal hounds to join the hunt for wild boar, as depicted in the lithograph "Gone Away - A Hunting Group." The horn's powerful melody transcends time, resonating in the works of Paul Lacroix, Paul Cézanne, and even in the Christmas card scene of a stagecoach journey through the snow. The Battle of the Pyrenees, 1813, and the preparation of hunting nets in the Livre de la Chasse, further illustrate the enduring bond between man and nature, as well as the rich history and culture of the hunt. The Light Infantry Ensign, 1811, stands proudly, a symbol of the dedication and discipline required to answer the horn's call. Let the hunt begin.
