EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hounds throwing off, 1800" artist Henry William Bunbury captures a moment of chaos and confusion during a fox hunting party in eighteenth-century Britain. The scene is filled with dramatic action as the hounds, led by their fearless riders, break free from the control of their handlers. With horses rearing and men desperately trying to regain control, an accident seems imminent. Bunbury's skillful illustration portrays the silly yet thrilling nature of this blood sport. The falling figures and fallen horsemen add an element of danger to the composition, heightening the intensity of the hunt. Amidst all the commotion, one cannot help but marvel at the sheer power and beauty of these majestic animals. This artwork is part of a larger collection called "Social Caricature in the Eighteenth Century" featuring over two hundred illustrations by George Paston (pseudonym for Emily Morse Symonds). Through her pseudonym, Symonds explores various aspects of British society during that era. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness not only a thrilling sporting event but also gain insight into social dynamics and cultural practices that defined eighteenth-century Britain. It serves as a reminder that art has always been a powerful medium for capturing moments both chaotic and serene throughout history.
