EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hunting Season - A Meet at the Old Hall," an enigmatic and evocative 19th century engraving from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 33, January to June, 1886. The image captures the essence of the British countryside and the traditional pastime of fox hunting. A grand old hall stands proudly in the background, its ivy-covered walls and towering chimneys a testament to the passage of time. A group of well-dressed men and women have gathered at the entrance, their horses tethered nearby. The excitement of the hunt is palpable in their expressions, as they exchange words and prepare for the day ahead. In the foreground, a man on horseback, dressed in the traditional red coat and black velvet collar of a huntsman, approaches the group. His gaze is fixed on the horizon, perhaps searching for the telltale signs of a fox or other game. Two women, one in a flowing blue dress and the other in a red riding habit, watch intently, their faces filled with anticipation. The scene is one of timeless beauty and tradition, a snapshot of a bygone era. The engraving, created by an unknown artist under the pseudonym "John Charlton," masterfully captures the essence of the English countryside and the enduring allure of field sports. The intricately detailed buildings and horses, the dynamic poses of the riders, and the rich textures of the clothing all serve to transport the viewer back in time, offering a glimpse into the world of the Victorian hunting season. This print, with its intriguing composition and evocative subject matter, is a must-have for any collection focusing on the history of Britain, the Victorian era, or the world of hunting and country sports. Its intricate details and rich history make it a true treasure for collectors and historians alike.
