EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite late Victorian greetings card featuring the captivating painting, "The First Fox of the Season," by renowned artist Ernest Griset. Circa 1890s, this masterpiece showcases the thrill and tradition of foxhunting during an era when the sport held great allure and social significance. The scene unfolds as a wily fox cleverly hides inside a hollow tree trunk, unaware of the impending chase. The red-jacketed hunter on horseback, accompanied by a pack of hounds, gallops towards the tree, their noses to the ground, tracking the elusive quarry. The hounds race past, their ears flapping in the wind, their eyes fixed on the scent. The painter's meticulous attention to detail brings the moment to life, capturing the essence of the hunt and the natural world. The horses' powerful muscles ripple as they strain at the bit, their hooves pounding the ground. The trees and foliage are rendered with care, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. This card is a testament to the rich history of foxhunting and the sporting traditions of the past. The tricky fox, the determined hunter, and the loyal hounds all come together in a scene that is both timeless and evocative. Whether sending a heartfelt message or celebrating a special occasion, this card is sure to leave a lasting impression.
