EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a scene from the historic Epping Forest Hunt in Essex, England, which took place on Easter Monday in 1820. The image, captured in 1928, showcases Fair Mead Bottom, a renowned feature of the hunt. Huntsmen and their horses are seen in pursuit of a deer, their determined expressions and the frothy lather on their horses' necks indicating the intensity of the chase. The deer, however, has managed to get a head start and is shown making a clean getaway in the distance, its graceful form silhouetted against the backdrop of the sprawling countryside. The Epping Forest Hunt, a traditional English sporting event, dates back to the 17th century and has a rich history. Held annually on Easter Monday, the hunt provided an opportunity for the local gentry and nobility to display their horsemanship skills and enjoy the thrill of the chase. The forest, a protected area since the Middle Ages, offered a natural playground for the hunters and their hounds. This print, with its intriguing composition and evocative details, transports us back in time to an era of blood sports, country pursuits, and the romance of the English countryside. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of hunting and the deep connection between man and nature that has defined the sport for centuries.
