EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print, titled "Mr. Sponge's Proposal during a Fox Hunt," depicts a dashing Huntsman in his vibrant pink hunting attire, embracing a woman on horseback. The scene unfolds amidst the picturesque backdrop of a fox hunt, with the pack of foxhounds appearing in the distance, their noses lifted in search of the elusive quarry. However, the hunt has taken an unexpected turn as the scent has gone cold, and the riders have come to a halt. In the heart of the moment, the Huntsman, identified as Mr. Sponge, seizes the opportunity to declare his love for the woman, who is revealed to be Lucy. The tender scene of their embrace is juxtaposed with the comical and chaotic elements of the hunt, as bolts fly and riders struggle to control their horses near a gate. This handcoloured steel engraving, created by John Leech and published by Bradbury and Evans in London in 1853, is a delightful illustration from Robert Smith Surtees' "Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour." The print showcases the multifaceted nature of 19th century sporting life, with its elements of excitement, romance, and even a touch of the unexpected. The Victorian era's love for hunting and the caricatured portrayal of its eccentricities are beautifully encapsulated in this charming image.
