Old Fashioned Sporting Pictures, and the Road to Bygone Days - Hunting Mishaps-- Hounds in Full Cry
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and humorous 19th century print from "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 42, published in 1890. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where hunting was a popular pastime among the high and mighty of British society. The print depicts a scene of a hunting party in full pursuit of a fox, with hounds in full cry. The huntsman, dressed in traditional hunting attire, is seen leading the charge on horseback, while his fellow hunters, also dressed in the fashionable hunting apparel of the time, follow closely behind. The print is rich in color and detail, with the red coats of the hunters and the brown coats of the hounds standing out against the green and gold tones of the countryside. However, the print also carries a satirical undertone, as one can see a fox bolting out of control, with the hunters and their hounds seemingly out of control as well. The title "Hunting Mishaps" suggests that this may be a intentional parody of the traditional hunting scene, highlighting the potential dangers and mishaps that could occur during such pursuits. The print also serves as a metaphor for the social class divide of the Victorian era, with the upper class hunters and their hounds in full display, while the fox, a symbol of the common man, tries to evade capture. The print also raises questions about the ethical treatment of animals during this era, as hunting was a common form of blood sport, and the treatment of animals was often cruel and inhumane. Overall, "Old Fashioned Sporting Pictures, and the Road to Bygone Days: Hunting Mishaps-- Hounds in Full Cry" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a humorous yet thought-provoking look at a time when hunting was a popular pastime among the upper class, and the treatment of animals was often overlooked.
