FOX HUNTING, 1878. The Huntbatches Out for a Holiday
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from 1878 takes us back to a time when fox hunting was not only a sport but also an occasion for families to come together and enjoy the outdoors. Titled "The Huntbatches Out for a Holiday" this caricature humorously depicts the follies of one particular family during their fox hunting outing. In this comical scene, we see men and women dressed in traditional riding attire, mounted on horseback with hounds eagerly leading the way. The late 19th-century American setting adds charm to the image as it captures both the excitement and lightheartedness of such an event. The artist skillfully portrays various humorous moments within this print, highlighting the mishaps that can occur during such outings. From riders losing their hats or getting tangled up in tree branches to horses misbehaving or taking unexpected detours, every member of the Huntbatch family seems caught up in amusing situations. With its witty portrayal of these memorable characters engaged in their adventurous pursuit, this engraving offers viewers a delightful glimpse into an era long gone by. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serious endeavors like fox hunting, laughter and joy can be found.
