EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from the 1820s captures the daring and eccentric Englishman, John Mytton, in the midst of a thrilling hunting scene. Mytton, born in 1796 and passing away in 1834, was renowned for his exceptional sporting prowess and reckless behavior. In this image, he is shown expertly navigating high railings, an audacious feat that embodies both his madcap spirit and his unwavering dedication to the chase. Mytton, a native of Shropshire, England, was a true devotee of the hunt, with a particular fondness for fox chasing. His daring antics often pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable, earning him a reputation as a bit of a rogue. Yet, despite his unconventional ways, Mytton was beloved by many for his charisma and his ability to bring excitement and adventure to the sporting world. In this photograph, we see Mytton in his element, surrounded by his hounds and with the thrill of the chase in his eyes. The high railings, which would deter most, pose no challenge to this intrepid hunter. With a grace and agility that belies his size, Mytton deftly negotiates the obstacle, demonstrating once again why he was such a legendary figure in the annals of English hunting history. This photograph is a testament to a bygone era, one in which the pursuit of sport and the thrill of the chase took center stage. It serves as a reminder of the daring feats and eccentric characters that have shaped the history of hunting in England and beyond.
