The Christmas Holiday Meet
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating series of silhouettes by H.L. Oakley that beautifully encapsulates the rich tradition and historical significance of the Christmas hunt in the English countryside. This stunning collection of images, available as printable art from Mary Evans Prints Online, takes us on a journey from the early start of the meet to the joyous enjoyment of the stirrup cup and the thrilling move off. The first silhouette depicts huntsmen and hounds gathered around a roaring fire, their breath visible in the crisp winter air as they prepare for the day's pursuit. The second image captures the moment of the meet, with riders and horses assembled in the frost-covered countryside, the hounds eagerly anticipating the scent of their quarry. As the hunt progresses, we see the riders in silhouette against the winter landscape, their horses straining at the bit as they follow the hounds through the countryside. The sun begins to set, casting long shadows over the rolling hills and adding an air of romance and tradition to the scene. The final image in the series shows the huntsmen and hounds gathered around a table, enjoying a well-deserved stirrup cup. The riders raise their glasses in a toast to the day's sport and the continuation of this ancient and cherished tradition. This series of silhouettes by H.L. Oakley is a beautiful and historical representation of the Christmas hunt, capturing the essence of the pursuit, the countryside, and the deep-rooted traditions that make this sport so beloved. Whether you're a fan of the hunt, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the English countryside, "The Christmas Holiday Meet" is a must-have addition to your home or office decor.
