EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "Mr Muffington on 'Placid Joe' late Pull Devil" by John Leech depicts a thrilling scene from the 19th-century novel "Mr Facey Romfords Hounds" written by Robert Smith Surtees. The artwork, part of a private collection, showcases the British countryside and its rich hunting traditions. In this lively illustration, Mr Muffington can be seen riding gallantly atop his trusty steed named Placid Joe as they navigate through the picturesque landscape. Clad in traditional hunting attire, complete with a vibrant hunting pink coat, Mr Muffington exemplifies the elegance and spirit of Victorian field sports. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving. From the flowing manes of horses to the meticulously rendered hounds eagerly following their master's lead, each element comes together harmoniously to create an immersive visual experience. This print not only captures a moment in time but also pays homage to English literature and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of Britain's enduring love for country pursuits and its deep-rooted connection to nature. As we admire this enchanting artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an exhilarating hunt unfold before our eyes. Through Leech's skillful craftsmanship and Surtees' compelling storytelling, we are reminded of the timeless allure that these age-old traditions hold for us today.
