EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures the essence of English huntsmanship in all its glory. In a dimly lit hallway, an English huntsman clad in traditional hunting pinks and sturdy boots examines a fox confined within a cage. Bathed in the soft glow of candlelight, this scene exudes an air of mystery and anticipation. The huntsman, known as Facey Romford, receives the gift of a bagged fox from Willia Watkins. A maid dressed in apron and petticoats stands by, observing with curiosity. The caption suggests that this is indeed a remarkable present for a Master of Hounds to receive. Created by renowned caricaturist and illustrator John Leech, this handcoloured steel engraving showcases his exceptional talent for capturing comical moments with great attention to detail. Leech's work was widely celebrated during the Victorian era through his contributions to Punch magazine. The image also offers glimpses into domestic life during this period, featuring various pieces of furniture including single chairs upholstered in rich fabrics. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of blood sports popular at that time. Overall, this enchanting illustration invites viewers to step back into history and immerse themselves in the world of English huntsmen while appreciating Leech's artistry and wit.
