The Melton Breakfast
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating mezzotint print by Sir Francis Grant, showcasing a rare gathering of High Leicestershire lights of the past, as they enjoy their breakfast before embarking on a hunt. The image, dated 1835, depicts an array of distinguished gentlemen, including Massey Stanley (Earl of Wilton), Count Matuszevic, Lord Gardner, Walter Little Gilmour, Lyne Stevens, a servant, Sir Frederick Johnstone, Lord Rokeby, Lord Forester, and Roland Errington. The scene takes place in the heart of Leicestershire hunting country, with Lord Forester, standing by the fire, having served as Master of the Belvoir for an impressive twenty-eight years. Known for their exceptional cooks and cellars, Lord Gardner and Mr. Gilmour add to the convivial atmosphere of the gathering. Sir Francis Grant, once President of the Royal Academy, was knighted at the age of fifty-six and spent most of his life in Melton. His family's wishes were for him to be buried there rather than in St. Paul's Cathedral. Among the group, Lord Forester, Lord Gardner, and Mr. Errington held significant roles in the hunting community, with the latter serving as Master of the Quorn from 1835 to 1838. The men, dressed in their finery, engage in lively conversation as they prepare for the day's hunt. The warmth of the fireplace contrasts with the chill outside, while the rich colors and textures of their clothing and the intricate details of the room's decor add depth and character to this historical moment. This exquisite mezzotint print offers a glimpse into the lives of these 19th-century huntsmen, preserving the essence of a bygone era.
