EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Cockney at a Fox Hunt, 1779" we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th-century England. The scene unfolds with an anonymous bald cit, dressed in his finest attire, astride a magnificent horse as they navigate the challenges of a fox hunt. The engraving captures a moment frozen in time - just as our cockney attempts to leap over a fence, he finds himself unexpectedly airborne. His hat flies off his head while his wig remains firmly intact, serving as an amusing metaphor for the unpredictability of life. Surrounded by fellow riders and their loyal dogs amidst lush nature and towering trees, this image offers us a glimpse into the exhilarating sport of fox hunting during this era. Satirical in nature, it playfully pokes fun at the social classes and their extravagant pursuits. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery's collection, this monochrome masterpiece showcases not only the artistic talent but also serves as a historical document that sheds light on society's pastimes centuries ago. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back in time - reminding us of both our shared human experiences and how much has changed since that fateful day in 1779.
