EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving titled "Fox hunting, 18th century" takes us back in time to witness a thrilling scene of traditional British sport. Created by Daniel Dodd and engraved by Thomas Prattent, this handcoloured copperplate print captures the essence of fox hunting during the late 1700s. The image showcases two terriers eagerly chasing a fox from its den, while huntsmen on horseback follow closely behind with their pack of hounds. The riders are depicted in exquisite detail as they navigate through the picturesque landscape, showcasing the grace and skill required for this exhilarating pursuit. Intricately capturing various animals such as horses, ponies, and even a shire horse among others, this artwork immerses us in an era when hunting was not only a popular pastime but also an important social event for noblemen, gentlemen, and farmers alike. With its rich colors and meticulous attention to detail, this engraving transports us to a time when fox hunting was considered both a state-sanctioned activity and a bloodsport. It offers us glimpses into British culture during the 18th century while highlighting the close relationship between humans and animals in that era. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how art can preserve moments from our past and provide valuable insights into our cultural heritage.
