Coming in at the Death, 1800 - A Satirical Snapshot of Eighteenth Century Fox Hunting
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time during the vibrant era of eighteenth-century Britain. Titled "Coming in at the Death, 1800" this illustration is part of a collection called "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century". Created by George Paston (pseudonym of Emily Morse Symonds) and published in London in 1905, it offers a unique glimpse into rural life and fox hunting traditions. In this scene, we witness an exhilarating chase as a male rider jumps over water obstacles while pursuing his prey. The countryside setting provides an idyllic backdrop for this thrilling sport that was popular among British aristocracy during that period. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its timeless appeal, emphasizing the raw energy and intensity of the hunt. Beyond its artistic value, this print serves as social commentary through satire. It playfully mocks both men and animals involved in fox hunting with exaggerated features and comical expressions. By highlighting these absurdities, it invites viewers to reflect on societal norms surrounding leisure activities and class distinctions prevalent during that time. As we delve into this historical snapshot captured by an unknown creator but brought to life by George Paston's skilled hand, we are transported back to a world where man's pursuit of adventure intertwined with nature's untamed beauty – forever preserved within this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' extensive collection.
