EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Horsmanshipp" is a remarkable snapshot of the 17th-century gentleman's pursuit of outdoor leisure. Published in Richard Blome's esteemed work, The Gentlemans Recreation, this print offers a glimpse into the world of horsemanship and hunting during that era. The image showcases a picturesque park setting with majestic horses gracefully galloping alongside their foals. A group of gentlemen on horseback can be seen engaging in an exhilarating hunt, pursuing a magnificent stag through the lush landscape. The scene exudes both elegance and excitement as these skilled riders showcase their mastery over their noble steeds. Blome's publication was not only an encyclopedia of arts and sciences but also served as a guide for gentlemen seeking enjoyment in outdoor pursuits. This particular illustration captures the essence of one such pursuit - hunting - which was considered both sport and recreation for men of privilege during this time. As we admire this restored piece from literature, it transports us to an era where horsemanship was highly valued and cherished by gentlemen seeking adventure amidst nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found solace and joy in activities that allowed them to connect with animals and explore the great outdoors.
