Foxhunters Regaling in the "Good" Old Times - drawn by John Leech, 1856. Men can now dine and return to the drawing-room; and, with such temptations as Mr. Leech has presented to us, who would not prefer to the riotous orgies of the "good old times" the rational enjoyment of our "degenerate days"? It is generally painful to think that we visit a place for the last time; that we shake some friendly hand for the last time; that we have enjoyed some favourite pursuit for the last time...what is it when you feel that you have had your last day with the hounds?...old friends and old scenes connected with the manliest and best of sports come back to us at will...We are vain enough to think, and weak enough to hope, that there are some readers of this paper who may not have forgotten many happy meetings which were shared with one who has often signed himself, Tom Moody'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
Foxhunters Regaling in the 'Good' Old Times," a captivating illustration drawn by the renowned English satirical artist John Leech in 1856, offers a nostalgic glimpse into the past. This evocative print, created by the skilled hand of Joseph Swain, transports us to an era long gone, where the thrill of the hunt was intertwined with the camaraderie and joy of the company. The scene unfolds in a cozy, dimly lit room filled with jovial foxhunters, their faces reflecting a sense of contentment and reminiscence. The hunters, dressed in their traditional attire, are gathered around a long table laden with an abundant feast. Steaming plates of food, glasses raised high, and merry laughter fill the room, creating an atmosphere of merriment and celebration. The caption accompanying the print, penned by an author named Tom Moody, expresses the bittersweet feeling of parting ways with cherished memories. The writer laments the passing of the 'good old times,' where men could dine and return to the drawing-room after a day of hunting, and where the simple pleasures of life seemed to outweigh the complexities of modern times. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we can't help but be drawn into the world of these old friends and their fond memories. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of cherishing the moments we have and the memories we create, for they are the things that stay with us long after the hunt is over.
