Fox-Hunting, (1924)
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a thrilling moment in the British countryside where man and beast unite in pursuit of a cunning fox. This print, part of the esteemed Old Sporting Prints Cigarette Cards series by John Player & Sons, transports us back to the 18th century tradition that endured well into the early 20th century. In this scene painted by an unknown artist but inspired by Samuel Howitt's work, we witness a group of determined riders on horseback accompanied by their loyal pack of foxhounds as they navigate through dense woods. The intensity is palpable as both men and dogs are fully engaged in this exhilarating blood sport. The image evokes mixed emotions - admiration for the skillful horsemanship displayed by these courageous riders, yet also raising questions about cruelty towards animals. It serves as a reminder of Britain's deep-rooted hunting culture while highlighting its controversial aspects. This collectible cigarette card offers us a glimpse into an era when smoking was intertwined with popular imagery. While appreciating this historical artifact from the 1920s, let us reflect upon how our attitudes towards wildlife have evolved over time. "The Print Collector" presents this remarkable piece which showcases not only sporting prowess but also sparks contemplation on human-animal relationships throughout history.
