EDITORS COMMENTS
Shavington Day: A Trial of Rival Packs and Horsemen, 1820s, Shropshire, England: This evocative print depicts the renowned Shavington Day trial, an annual event that brought together the local gentry and their hounds for a day of horseback hunting and competition between rival packs. At the center of the scene is the eccentric Squire of Halston, John Mytton (1796-1834), who was known for his love of hunting and his refusal to conform to societal norms. The trial took place near the village of Shavington, in Shropshire, during the 1820s. The image captures the intensity and excitement of the chase, with horsemen and hounds in full pursuit of a fox. The squire, dressed in a red coat and top hat, sits astride his horse, brandishing a whip and urging his hounds on. His rival, also on horseback, wears a green coat and is determined not to let the Squire's pack claim the victory. The print offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of hunting traditions in Shropshire during the 19th century. The eccentric and flamboyant Squire John Mytton, who refused to be outdone by his rivals, is a testament to the passion and spirit that drove these annual trials. The print also highlights the camaraderie and competition that existed between the local gentry, as they came together for a day of horseback hunting and sport. This image, with its rich details and lively action, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of hunting, horseback riding, or the social customs of the 19th century English gentry.
