EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print, titled "Victorian gentlemen on horseback gathering for a stag hunt" takes us back to the early 20th century in England. The scene depicts a group of distinguished men dressed in pinks and top hats, eagerly awaiting the start of their hunting expedition. Their horses stand tall and majestic, ready to embark on this thrilling adventure. The focal point of the image is Lord Stanley, who greets John Mytton from his luxurious coach. This meeting sets the tone for an exciting day ahead with Lord Derby's staghounds. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every element, from the elaborate carriages to the lush green pastures of the countryside, transports us into this rural landscape. Hunting was not merely a sport but also a significant part of British culture during that era. It represented tradition and camaraderie among these Victorian gentlemen as they indulged in bloodsports and showcased their equestrian skills. This print captures both the elegance and excitement surrounding such gatherings. Created by Henry Thomas Alken and featured in Memoirs of the Life of Late John Mytton by Nimrod (Charles James Apperley), this chromolithographic facsimile preserves an important moment in history. Through its vibrant colors and meticulous detailing, it offers us a glimpse into rural life at that time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can appreciate this stunning piece as it brings together artistry, history, and cultural significance within its frame.
