EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print, we are transported to a scene of anticipation and excitement as huntsmen and women gather to witness the release of fox-hounds before a thrilling hunt. The image captures the essence of traditional British countryside pursuits during the Victorian era. The focal point of the composition is Mr. Facey Romford, distinguished in his vibrant green coat, exuding authority and expertise. Beside him sits Lucy Somersville on her horse, elegantly poised in her sidesaddle position. As they eagerly await the main event, their expressions reveal a mix of determination and exhilaration. The pen housing the fox-hounds stands prominently in the background, its door wide open. With bated breaths, everyone watches as these magnificent creatures burst forth with an enthusiastic cry that echoes through the farmyard. Their energy is palpable; their instincts honed for this very moment. This handcoloured steel engraving beautifully showcases Hablot Knight Browne's (Phiz) talent for capturing movement and character within his illustrations. The comical undertones present throughout add an element of humor to this otherwise intense blood sport. As we delve into this historical artwork by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded not only of our connection with nature but also how deeply ingrained hunting traditions were in society at that time. It serves as both a testament to our past and a reflection on evolving attitudes towards wildlife conservation today.
