The Grand Leicestershire Fox Hunt - A Triumph of English Countryside Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in the exhilarating and age-old tradition of fox hunting. Engraved by Charles Hunt in 1839, this colour lithograph showcases plate 4 of "The Grand Leicestershire Fox Hunt" series, masterfully executed by Samuel Henry Alken. In this scene, we witness the exhaustion and triumph etched on the faces of both man and beast. The tired huntsmen, clad in traditional attire, stand proudly atop their majestic horses after an arduous chase through the picturesque English landscape. Their whips held high as they celebrate their successful pursuit. Amidst fallen fences and a rugged rural backdrop lies the lifeless body of the cunning fox - a testament to nature's fierce struggle for survival. The hounds surround their prize with prideful anticipation while one huntsman cradles his trophy catch. Beyond them stands an impressive estate house nestled amidst rolling hills, symbolizing wealth and privilege intertwined with this centuries-old sport. This image encapsulates not only the physical challenges faced during such pursuits but also highlights the deep-rooted connection between man, horse, hound, and nature itself. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with these timeless traditions that have shaped British culture for generations. Displayed within private collections worldwide under eThe British Sporting Art Trust's careful guardianship; this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers with its vivid portrayal of triumph over
