The Grand Leicestershire Fox Hunt - A Captivating Glimpse into English Sporting Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous scene from "The Grand Leicestershire Fox Hunt" plate 1, engraved by Charles Hunt in 1839. Measuring an impressive 64x72.5 cm, this color lithograph showcases the remarkable talent of Samuel Henry Alken, who created this masterpiece after capturing the essence of the hunt. Immersed in the picturesque English countryside, we witness a thrilling chase unfold before our eyes. Horseback riders adorned in top hats and traditional attire gallop across vast fields as they follow their pack of hounds with unwavering determination. The scent of the fox lingers in the air as these skilled sportsmen and sportswomen navigate through rugged terrain. Intriguingly, this print is part of a set of four that beautifully encapsulates every aspect of this exhilarating pursuit. It serves as a testament to England's rich sporting heritage and its deep-rooted connection to nature. The image transports us back to a time when horse riding was not only considered an art but also an integral part of rural life. With horses at full stride and dogs eagerly pursuing their prey, it reminds us of the symbiotic relationship between man and animal during such hunts. As we admire this stunning piece from afar, we are reminded once again why equestrian pursuits have captivated generations throughout history - for it is not merely about chasing foxes
