EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Chatsworth Hunting Tapestries, second of the series" from the 15th century. Originally housed at Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire and later moved to Chatsworth House, these exquisite Flemish tapestries now reside in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The image is a reproduction of a watercolour drawing by WG Thomas, featured in his book "A History of Tapestry" published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1930. The tapestry depicts a vibrant hunting scene set against a backdrop of lush countryside. In intricate detail, we see hunters dressed in medieval attire with their loyal hounds by their side. The rich colors and textures bring this historical moment to life, transporting us back to the Middle Ages. Not only does this artwork showcase skilled craftsmanship but it also provides insight into fashion trends and stately homes of that era.
