EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant coloured engraving by John Leech, depicting an intriguing scene from the 19th-century novel "Mr Facey Romfords Hounds" by Robert Smith Surtees. The print captures the essence of British country sports and hunting traditions during the Victorian era. In this image, we see a beautifully illustrated box with intricate details, symbolizing surprise and anticipation. The box appears to be captured or caged, hinting at the excitement of capturing prey in fox hunting. A majestic fox stands nearby, representing both the thrill and challenge faced by hunters. The artwork showcases Leech's exceptional talent as an illustrator, bringing to life scenes from Surtees' literary masterpiece. The collaboration between these two renowned artists also includes illustrations by Hablot K Browne ("Phiz"), adding depth and richness to their work. This print not only celebrates British culture but also highlights the strong connection between literature and art during this period. It transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of English countryside pursuits while immersing ourselves in Surtees' gripping storytelling. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this enchanting engraving serves as a visual reminder of our rich heritage and love for outdoor activities. It encapsulates an era when hunting was not just a sport but an integral part of British tradition that continues to captivate enthusiasts today.
