Charlie and Peel Ross with Horse after a Hunt, ca. 1856-59 - A Glimpse into Victorian Sporting Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white albumen silver print by Horatio Ross takes us back to the mid-19th century, immersing us in the world of blood sports and country pursuits. The photograph features two young boys, Charlie and Peel Ross, proudly posing alongside their majestic horse after a successful hunt. Dressed in traditional Scottish attire, complete with Tam o' Shanter hats and stylish clothing of the era, these children embody the spirit of adventure that characterized hunting during this time. With rifles slung over their shoulders, they exude confidence as they stand beside their trusted steed. The picturesque countryside serves as an idyllic backdrop for this snapshot of rural life in Scotland. Grouse and partridge birds lie at their feet - trophies from a day well spent in pursuit of game. The image captures not only the thrill of hunting but also highlights the deep connection between man, animal, and nature. Horatio Ross's skillful composition transports us to another era when hunting was both a sport and a way of life for many Victorians. This artwork is not just about capturing a moment; it offers insight into cultural heritage while showcasing the artistry involved in early photography. Displayed within the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece stands as a testament to Horatio Ross's talent as well as his contribution to documenting history through his lens
