EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving captures a delightful moment from the pages of Robert Smith Surtees' renowned novel, "Mr Facey Romfords Hounds". Illustrated by the talented John Leech and Hablot K Browne, also known as "Phiz" this particular scene features Lucy, a spirited woman amidst a backdrop of country sports. With her determination shining through her eyes, she exclaims with confidence, "Let me try then". The image transports us to the picturesque countryside of Victorian England, where huntsmen on horseback traverse the landscape in pursuit of their quarry. Lucy stands out in her elegant hunting dress and distinctive hunting pink attire. Her presence challenges traditional gender roles associated with such blood sports. As we delve into Surtees' literary masterpiece, we are reminded of the rich British heritage surrounding field sports and countryside pursuits. The engraving beautifully encapsulates this cultural phenomenon that has captivated generations. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this print serves as an exquisite testament to both Germanic and British influences within European art. It is part of a private collection that cherishes these historical connections between Germany and Great Britain. Through this artwork by Leech and Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of literature's ability to transcend time and borders.
