EDITORS COMMENTS
A Royal Chase: King George III and Queen Charlotte Stag Hunting (1780) captures a moment in time when the British monarchy embraced the rural pastime of stag hunting. In this striking image, King George III, dressed in a red hunting coat and tall hat, rides on horseback with a determined expression, his horse poised and ready to pursue the elusive stag. Queen Charlotte, elegantly attired in a blue riding habit and white headdress, sits side-saddle on a beautiful chestnut mare, her hands holding the reins and her gaze fixed on the hunt. Surrounded by a retinue of horsemen and hounds, the royal party moves through the lush, wooded countryside, the trees a vibrant green against the autumnal colors of the leaves. The hounds, a mix of English and Spanish breeds, are in full cry, their noses to the ground and their tails wagging in excitement. The horses, strong and powerful, are a testament to the physical demands of the hunt. Stag hunting was a popular pastime among the British aristocracy, and the monarchy's participation in the chase was a symbol of their connection to the land and their subjects. The hunt was not only a sport but also a social event, bringing together the elite of society for a day of camaraderie and competition. This image, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a glimpse into the world of the British monarchy during the 1780s, a time of elegance, luxury, and tradition. The photo print, with its intricate details and rich colors, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the photographer and the enduring allure of the royal chase.
