EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 18th century, capturing "The Bilsden (Billesdon) Coplow Day" in all its glory. Painted by the talented artist Francis Jukes and inspired by Charles Loraine Smith's work, this piece offers a glimpse into a time long gone. Set against a picturesque English landscape, we find ourselves immersed in an outdoor scene filled with life and energy. Horses graze peacefully on the hillside while others gallop freely along the riverbank. A fence separates them from the spectators who eagerly watch this thrilling display of equestrian prowess. As we take in this aerial view, it becomes evident that hunting is at play here. The concept of struggle and difficulty is palpable as riders navigate through challenging terrain. Leicestershire's rugged dale adds to the excitement of the chase. The print itself was featured in The Connoisseur Volume LXXXVII, edited by C. Reginald Grundy in 1931 - a testament to its enduring appeal even well into the 20th century. With masterful engraving techniques employed by Jukes, every detail comes to life before our eyes. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that showcases England's rich heritage and love for horses. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this remarkable piece today without any commercial use intentions but rather solely for its cultural significance and aesthetic beauty.
