Newmarket - A Shot at a Hawk, August 1,1801
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the vibrant world of early 19th-century England. Created by James Bretherton, this etching showcases his exceptional talent for satire and caricature. In this comical scene, we find ourselves in the picturesque countryside of Newmarket, Suffolk. A group of well-dressed gentlemen has gathered for an exciting falconry event. Their Georgian attire reflects the fashion trends of the time with tricorn hats and elaborate clothing. The central figure capturing our attention is Geoffrey Gambado, portrayed by Henry William Bunbury. With his exaggerated gestures and flamboyant costume, Gambado embodies the epitome of British humor during this era. Amidst all the laughter and jesting stands a majestic bird of prey - a hawk ready to take flight. The juxtaposition between man and nature adds depth to Bretherton's satirical commentary on society's obsession with leisurely pursuits. Breatherton's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture intricate details but also in infusing each character with distinctive personalities through clever facial expressions. This print serves as both entertainment and social critique as it pokes fun at societal norms while celebrating English heritage. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, "Newmarket: A Shot at a Hawk" continues to captivate viewers with its wit and charm from centuries past.
