EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph print captures the moment of chaos and excitement as English eccentric John Mytton, the 7th Baronet of Fritham and Apperley Hall, deliberately capsizes a gig during an outing in the 1820s. Mytton, known for his unconventional behavior and love for pranks, can be seen at the helm of the carriage, a mischievous grin on his face as he drives the gig towards a hidden rabbit hole. The unsuspecting passenger clutches the side of the carriage in terror as they plunge into the hole, causing the gig to upturn and spill its occupants onto the farmland below. The scene is set in a quintessentially English countryside, with a hedge and gate visible in the background, adding to the idyllic yet chaotic atmosphere. Mytton, dressed in fashionable attire, appears unfazed by the incident, while the labourers in the distance seem to be in a state of amused order, perhaps having been in on the prank. This historical photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the eccentricities and traditions of the English aristocracy during the 1820s. The image is a reminder of the unexpected twists and turns that life could take during this era, as well as the role that humor and mischief played in the social fabric of the time. John Mytton, born in 1796, was a notorious figure in English history, known for his love of hunting, gambling, and practical jokes. His daring antics, such as this gig capsize, have been passed down through the generations and continue to intrigue and entertain to this day.
