EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming 19th-century print, we are transported to a fox hunt where an unexpected encounter takes place. A gentleman atop his trusty old nag and a lady elegantly perched on her pony come together in the midst of the excitement. The scene is beautifully captured by renowned illustrator John Leech, known for his comical and caricatured works. Rosa McDermott, gracefully seated sidesaddle on her pony, exchanges a friendly handshake with Jack Bunting while their horses stand patiently nearby. Behind them, hidden amongst the trees, the groom gardener Old Gaiters observes this unlikely meeting with curiosity. The atmosphere is filled with surprise as Rosa exclaims, "Who would have thought of seeing you!". This delightful moment showcases the social interactions that often occurred during these blood sports gatherings in the Victorian era. Handcoloured to perfection, this steel engraving brings to life not only the characters but also the lush landscape surrounding them. From towering windmills to rolling fields and ancient gates, every detail adds depth and richness to this scene. As we admire this artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of Leech's talent for capturing both humor and humanity in his illustrations. Through his work here, he invites us into a world where gentlemen on nags and ladies on ponies can unexpectedly cross paths amidst the thrill of a fox hunt.
