EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Richard Caton Woodville II takes us back to a thrilling moment in history. Titled "Forty minutes o er the grass without a check, boys!", this artwork captures the essence of an intense and dramatic scene. In this illustration for The Illustrated London News, published on 6 November 1886, we are transported to a world of bloodsports and horseriding. A group of fearless boys, mounted on their powerful steeds, gallop across the open grassland with unwavering determination. With no obstacles or interruptions in sight, they push their horses to their limits. Woodville's masterful technique brings every detail to life - from the muscular bodies of the horses to the determined expressions on the faces of these young riders. The energy and excitement emanating from this print is palpable; you can almost feel your heart race as you imagine yourself riding alongside them. This artwork not only showcases Woodville's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the bravery and skill required in such pursuits. It reminds us of an era when hunting was not just a sport but also an integral part of society. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that sometimes it is necessary for us all to break free from constraints and embrace our passions wholeheartedly – just like these boys racing fearlessly over the grass without any hindrance or interruption.
