EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage print titled "Happy fox hunting man holding a dead fox" we are transported back to the exhilarating world of 19th-century English countryside pursuits. The image captures the essence of triumph and satisfaction as a dashing gentleman proudly displays the fruits of his day's adventure - a lifeless but beautifully adorned fox. Taken from the renowned book "Handley Cross; or, Mr. Jorrockss Hunt" by Rs Surtees and illustrated by John Leech, this scene encapsulates both the thrill and controversy surrounding traditional fox hunting practices during that era. As Linda Steward skillfully presents us with this historical snapshot, it invites us to reflect on our changing attitudes towards wildlife conservation. The composition is rich in detail, showcasing not only the victorious hunter but also his loyal pack of hounds eagerly awaiting their master's command. The vibrant colors and intricate brushwork transport us into an idyllic landscape where man and nature coexist in harmony, albeit through a lens that may challenge modern sensibilities. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Storehouse serves as a visual time capsule, allowing us to glimpse into an era when such activities were celebrated rather than scrutinized. It sparks conversations about our evolving relationship with animals and encourages contemplation on how we can appreciate nature without causing harm.
