EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts a lively scene of huntsmen and women gathered around the pen, eagerly anticipating the release of their fox-hounds. The huntsman, Facey Romford, dressed in a green coat, stands at the front, ready to open the door and let the hounds out with a cry. Beside him, Lucy Somersville sits sidesaddle on her horse, her pink riding habit contrasting against the green landscape. The loose box door swings open, and the hounds burst out, their excited bays filling the air. The huntsmen and women watch with excitement as the hounds make their way over fences and hedges, their determination and agility on full display. The comical and humorous illustration, created by Hablot Knight Browne (Phiz), captures the spirit of the English hunt during the Victorian era. The hand-coloured steel engraving, taken from Robert Smith Surtees' "Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds," published by Bradbury, Evans and Co. in London in 1865, is a testament to the enduring appeal of this traditional English pastime. Despite the controversy surrounding blood sports and hunting with hounds, this print remains a beloved piece of history, showcasing the passion and excitement of the hunt, as well as the elegance and style of the huntsmen and huntswomen of the time.
