EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Two Victorian men with a pack of foxhounds" we are transported back in time to witness a scene filled with intrigue and curiosity. The image captures two distinguished gentlemen engrossed in conversation, one of them clearly identified as a huntsman. Clad in their elegant Victorian attire, they stand amidst an idyllic countryside setting, surrounded by a pack of majestic foxhounds. However, what makes this photograph truly fascinating is the contrasting expressions on the faces of these individuals. While the huntsman appears confident and knowledgeable about his beloved hounds, the man dressed in green seems somewhat discomfited. His furrowed brow suggests he may be grappling with conflicting emotions or perhaps questioning the ethics behind such pursuits. Amidst this intriguing exchange stands an unexpected observer - a curious cat who gazes upon the scene unperturbed. Its nonchalant demeanor serves as a reminder that nature's creatures often possess wisdom beyond our understanding. This remarkable print from Linda Steward's collection transports us to 1854 London when hunting was not only considered sport but also reflected societal norms and values. It invites us to reflect on our own relationship with animals and how perspectives have evolved over time. Through its timeless charm and thought-provoking composition, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while contemplating our complex interactions with both humans and animals alike.
