EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph from 1910 captures a humorous moment in the world of fox hunting. Titled "I'm much obliged to see that gentleman with the big calves for over-ridin my hounds" the print is part of Mr Jorrocks Lectors, published by Hodder & Stoughton. Created by George Denholm Armour, this artwork showcases his talent and wit. The scene depicts a countryside hunt, with followers and huntsmen on horseback eagerly pursuing their prey. However, what steals the show is a comical twist - a man with noticeably large calves has managed to ride ahead of everyone else, even overtaking the pack of hounds! The caption suggests that he may have unintentionally outpaced them due to his impressive leg muscles. Armour's attention to detail is evident in this piece; each character's costume and expression are meticulously rendered. The lively colors bring an added vibrancy to the scene, making it come alive before our eyes. This artwork offers a glimpse into early 20th-century English hunting culture while also providing entertainment through its playful narrative. It reminds us that sometimes unexpected moments can arise even in traditional pursuits like fox hunting. Overall, this print serves as both an amusing anecdote and a testament to Armour's artistic skill.
