Very Fond of It
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by John Leech, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854. The image depicts a humorous scene of horse riding in the snowy countryside. In the foreground, a determined horseman, bundled up against the cold, clings tightly to his horse as they navigate a fallen fence in a wintry field. Behind them, a group of horsemen and huntsmen, also dressed for the weather, follow closely in pursuit. A fox, cunningly hiding in the undergrowth, watches the scene unfold with a smirk, as if amused by the riders' efforts. The print, titled "Very Fond of It" by Joseph Swain, captures the essence of rural life in 19th century Britain. The fallen fence, a common occurrence in rural areas, is a reminder of the challenges and unpredictability of the countryside. The horsemen, undeterred by the weather, embody the tenacity and spirit of the rural community. The image also speaks to the tradition of fox hunting, a popular pastime during this period. The wintry scene is beautifully rendered, with the snow falling gently in the background and the horse's breath visible in the crisp air. The contrast between the black and white tones adds to the sense of depth and texture, making this a truly striking and timeless image. Overall, "Very Fond of It" is a delightful and charming representation of horse riding in the snow, and a wonderful example of the illustrative style of John Leech and the Illustrated London News.
