EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian greeting card print captures the exhilarating scene of fox hunters racing by, while a clever fox cunningly hides in a tree. Created by the talented artist Ernest Henry Griset around 1880, this colourful lithograph transports us back to an era of grandeur and tradition. The image showcases the essence of a traditional English fox hunt, with huntsmen donning their iconic red coats and sporting elegant hunting caps. The horses gallop with grace and determination as they navigate through the picturesque countryside. In pursuit of their prey, hounds eagerly follow suit, adding to the excitement and intensity of the chase. Amidst all this commotion, our sly protagonist finds refuge high up in a tree branch, evading capture with its wit and agility. This juxtaposition between predator and prey creates a sense of suspense that captivates viewers' attention. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that horseback riding was not solely reserved for men; here we see both sportswomen and sportsmen participating side by side in this thrilling activity. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this Victorian greeting card print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a reminder of an era when such pursuits were celebrated as both sport and social occasion.
