Our Opening Day
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, capturing the excitement and energy of a traditional English fox hunt. The image showcases a group of enthusiastic foxhunters, elegantly dressed in their riding attire, as they gather together on horseback for the much-anticipated opening day. The scene is filled with action and movement as horses stand abreast, ready to embark on an exhilarating chase through the countryside. A chestnut-colored horse stands out among the others, its powerful presence commanding attention. The riders are seen struggling and scrambling to keep up with the hounds who eagerly lead them towards their prey. In this lively depiction, we witness not only skilled hunters but also other characters such as a tailor who seems determined to join in on the adventure. Flies buzz around amidst all the commotion while farm animals graze peacefully nearby. The artist's attention to detail brings this momentous occasion to life; from every fold in clothing to each strand of hair on manes and tails. It is evident that "Our Opening Day" captures both the thrill of hunting and appreciation for these magnificent creatures. This print serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and our shared history with these majestic animals. It invites us into a world where tradition meets adrenaline-fueled pursuit – an enchanting glimpse into another time when horsemanship was celebrated alongside camaraderie and passion for wildlife.
