EDITORS COMMENTS
This Carte de Visite (CdV) from the 1870s showcases a British Huntsman, dressed in the height of fashion for the sporting elite. The huntsman, with an air of authority and expertise, dons a top hat adorned with a red band and a felt hunting cap, both symbols of his trade. His red hunting jacket, buttoned up to the neck, is paired with a crisp white shirt and a cravat, adding to his polished appearance. In his hands, he holds a crop and a whip, tools essential for managing hounds during a hunt. The huntsman's intense gaze and posture convey a sense of focus and determination, reflecting the thrill and excitement of the chase. The backdrop of the studio setting, with its plain, dark background, allows the huntsman to stand out as the main subject of the portrait. The albumen print process, popular during the 1870s, has captured every detail of the huntsman's attire and facial features, resulting in a striking and lifelike image. This CdV offers a glimpse into the world of the British hunting tradition, where the master huntsman played a crucial role in leading the hunt and managing the hounds. The portrait also highlights the smart and gentlemanly appearance of the huntsman, emphasizing the refined nature of the sport. Overall, this Carte de Visite is a beautiful and intriguing reminder of the rich history and traditions of British hunting in the 1870s.
