Old Fashioned Sporting Pictures, and the Road to Bygone Days - Fox Hunting -1887--The Kill
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative print by Thomas Rowlandson, published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper, in 1890. This stunning image transports us back in time to the Victorian era, where the aristocracy and upper classes engaged in the traditional British pastime of fox hunting. The print showcases a thrilling moment from the hunt, with a group of elegantly dressed hunters on horseback, their hounds hot on the trail of a fox. The huntsman, resplendent in his red coat and hunting horn, leads the charge, while the huntswoman, dressed in a riding habit, follows closely behind. The hounds, their coats glistening with sweat and mud, are focused intently on the chase. In the foreground, a man in a top hat and tail coat, clad in the latest fashion, watches the scene unfold with a sense of excitement and anticipation. The background is filled with a crowd of onlookers, all dressed in their finest clothing, adding to the sense of grandeur and spectacle. However, the title of the print, "The Kill," hints at the controversial and contentious nature of fox hunting. The image does not shy away from depicting the brutal reality of the hunt, with the lifeless body of the fox lying at the feet of the huntsman. The use of color and tone in the print adds to the sense of drama and intensity, making it a powerful and thought-provoking representation of a bygone era. Thomas Rowlandson's "Old Fashioned Sporting Pictures, and the Road to Bygone Days: Fox Hunting -1887--The Kill" is a captivating and evocative snapshot of a time when hunting was a symbol of status and wealth, and the pursuit of sport and entertainment came at a great cost to the animals involved. The print serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between humans and animals, and the ongoing debate surrounding the ethics of blood sports.
