EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and action-packed Victorian New Year card captures the excitement of a fox hunt in the late 19th century. Painted by Ernest Henry Griset, it showcases a dramatic moment as a huntsman and his horse take an unexpected plunge into the river during the chase. The scene is filled with energy and movement, with the huntsman wearing a traditional red coat and sporting a hunting cap. His whip is raised high in the air as he tries to regain control of his startled horse. The surrounding landscape features lush trees, adding depth to this thrilling outdoor pursuit. Griset's skillful use of color lithography brings life to every detail, from the flowing water to each strand of fur on both man and beast. This print would have been exchanged as a greeting card during New Year celebrations, symbolizing good fortune for the coming year. As we admire this historic artwork today, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exhilarating sport but also gain insight into Victorian society's love for outdoor pursuits. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern lives, there is still value in appreciating nature's beauty and engaging in age-old traditions like fox hunting.
