"Hunting Pink: A Glimpse into the Thrilling World of Fox Hunting" Step back in time to Cattistock, 1899, as captured by CG's artistic brushstrokes. The vibrant hues of "Hunting Pink" adorn the riders and their horses, symbolizing their passion for this age-old sport. In "The General, " an 1881 masterpiece by Spy, we witness a distinguished figure mounted on horseback. His pink hunting attire exudes elegance and tradition, reflecting his status among fellow enthusiasts. "The Wrong Sort" takes us to mid-19th century England with its intriguing depiction by an unknown artist. This satirical piece humorously portrays the Craners of England who may not quite fit the mold but are still drawn to the allure of fox hunting. Contrasting this comical scene is "The Right Sort, " another mid-19th century creation from an anonymous creator. Here we find ourselves amidst crack riders whose impeccable skills and dedication make them true connoisseurs of this exhilarating pursuit. Travel further back in time to early 19th century England with "The Earl of Derby's Stag Hounds. " An unknown artist captures a moment frozen in history when these majestic hounds were at the forefront of noble huntsmen's endeavors. Peter Beckford Esq. , accompanied by his beloved hounds Shameless and Brilliant, comes alive through a captivating color lithograph. Their loyalty and devotion echo throughout generations as they chase after elusive prey across vast landscapes. In a colored engraving titled ""Let me try then"said Lucy, " we witness a young woman fearlessly joining the hunt. Her determination shines through as she seeks her place alongside seasoned hunters despite societal expectations holding her back. Through various colored engravings depicting scenes like "Hunting" or "An Exciting Finish, " we glimpse heart-pounding moments filled with adrenaline-fueled pursuits and triumphant victories.
