EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hunting Sketches, a Meet of the Quorn at Ashby Folville" takes us back to the thrilling world of bloodsports in 19th-century England. Created by William Barnes Wollen and published in The Illustrated London News on November 28,1891, this print captures the essence of a traditional hunting gathering. The scene is set amidst the picturesque countryside of Leicestershire, where members of high society have gathered for an exhilarating day of fox hunting. Elegantly dressed men and women on horseback are depicted with great attention to detail as they prepare for their pursuit. Among them are notable figures such as Honourable Mrs. Gerald Paget, Captain King King, Captain Warner, and Lady Hilda McNiel. The horses stand tall and majestic while their riders exude confidence and determination. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as everyone eagerly awaits the signal to begin the chase. Master Quorn Hounds leads the pack with Lord William Bentinck overseeing proceedings. Through this artwork's intricate lines and shading techniques, Wollen transports us back in time to witness a moment frozen forever in history—a testament to both skillful craftsmanship and an era when hunting was considered a noble pastime. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into a bygone era when equestrian pursuits were cherished traditions among Britain's elite classes.
