EDITORS COMMENTS
A Meet of the Foulvale Dudhounds, by H.M. Bateman (1928) This illustration, "A Meet of the Foulvale Dudhounds," is a historical record of a traditional English hunt meet, brilliantly captured by the renowned British cartoonist, Sir Henry Melton Bateman (1887-1970). Bateman, popularly known as "Bateman," was a prolific artist, best known for his humorous and satirical cartoons published in Punch magazine. The scene unfolds on the 3rd of November in the picturesque village of Foulvale. Dudhounds, a breed of English foxhound, are known for their distinctive white coats and black ears, which are on full display in this illustration. The hounds, led by their huntsman, have gathered at the meet, eagerly awaiting the start of the hunt. The huntsman, dressed in traditional red coat and tall hat, stands at the head of the pack, holding a horn to signal the start of the chase. The illustration is a testament to the rich history of hunting in England, a pastime that has been an integral part of the British countryside for centuries. The huntsmen and hounds are surrounded by a throng of onlookers, including gentlemen on horseback, footmen, and village folk, all dressed in their Sunday best, eager to witness the spectacle. This exquisite illustration, created in 1928, is a treasure trove of historical detail. The horses, hounds, and riders are meticulously rendered, showcasing Bateman's exceptional artistic skill. The intricately detailed landscape, complete with rolling hills, quaint cottages, and verdant foliage, transports us back in time to a bygone era. This illustration, imported from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical British art or an enthusiast of the English countryside and its traditions. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the hunt and the rich history it represents.
