EDITORS COMMENTS
The First Ten Minutes, plate two from The Leicestershire Hunt, published in 1825, is a stunning hand-coloured aquatint on ivory wove paper by the British artist John Dean Paul. This image transports us back to the 19th century and the English countryside, specifically Leicestershire, England. The scene depicts the chaos and excitement of the start of a fox hunt, with riders and horses eagerly preparing for the chase. In the foreground, a group of men on horseback gather at the entrance to a ditch or water jump, their faces focused and determined. The rider in the center, wearing a red coat and tall hat, leans forward in his saddle, urging his horse to jump the obstacle. Behind him, other riders and horses line up, some already in mid-jump, creating a dynamic sense of movement and energy. The composition of the print is in a letterbox format, providing a panoramic view of the scene, with the landscape extending beyond the riders and their horses. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring the image to life, transporting us to the heart of the hunt. The etching technique used by Paul captures the textures of the horses' coats, the folds of the riders' clothing, and the roughness of the terrain. The First Ten Minutes is a testament to the rich heritage of British art and the enduring appeal of the countryside and the traditions of fox hunting. This print is a must-have for any art lover, collector, or history enthusiast, providing a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the beauty and excitement of the natural world.
