EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Victorian greeting card print, we are transported back to the thrilling world of a fox hunt in the late 19th century. The scene depicts a dramatic moment as a lone horse gallops away from the chaos, leaving the huntsman stranded behind. Painted by Ernest Henry Griset, this colour lithograph captures both the elegance and intensity of this popular sporting event. The vibrant red coats of the hunters stand out against the lush green landscape, adding an air of sophistication to their pursuit. Horses with their riders can be seen jumping over fences and dashing through fields, showcasing their agility and determination. The hounds eagerly follow suit, baying loudly as they chase after their elusive prey. What makes this image particularly intriguing is that one horse has broken free from the pack and is making its escape. Its powerful strides convey a sense of urgency and independence, contrasting with the controlled chaos unfolding around it. Griset's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke - from each meticulously rendered horse to every fold in the hunter's clothing. This print not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides us with a glimpse into English society during this era when fox hunting was considered both a sport and social occasion. This enchanting piece invites us to reflect on our own notions of freedom amidst tradition while celebrating an age-old pastime that continues to captivate audiences today.
