Going Along a Slapping Pace,
EDITORS COMMENTS
plate one from Robert Frankland's Indispensable Accomplishments, published on June 24, 1811, is a captivating hand-colored etching on paper that transports us to the heart of England's countryside during the 19th century. The image showcases a lively scene of foxhunting, a popular British pastime, with a group of riders and their hounds in full pursuit of a fox. The etching is the work of Sir Robert Frankland Russell (1763-1842), an accomplished artist and sportsman. The title "Going Along a Slapping Pace" refers to the fast gallop of the horses and riders as they chase the elusive fox through the countryside. The scene is filled with vibrant colors and intricate details, from the rich red coats of the huntsmen and their hounds to the lush green landscapes and the earthy tones of the riders' boots and spurs. The image is a testament to the traditional rural life of England during this period, where hunting was not only a sport but also a way of life. The riders, dressed in their finest attire, are depicted with a sense of pride and determination, their faces set on the chase. The hounds, with their noses to the ground and ears flapping in the wind, are a picture of intense focus and energy. The etching is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of 19th-century England and the traditions that shaped it. It is a reminder of the rich heritage of British art and the enduring appeal of the countryside and the sports that have long been a part of its identity. Whether viewed in an art gallery or art institute, this stunning etching is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the British countryside, or the traditions of rural life.
