EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the essence of 19th-century hunting scenes, as depicted in "Hunting Sketches" by G L Harrison. The colour lithograph showcases two captivating illustrations engraved by Leighton Bros. The top illustration portrays a majestic huntsman on his trusted steed, old Mercury, making a grand entrance at the cover. The bottom illustration depicts the hunt moving towards Covert, with an air of excitement and anticipation filling the scene. Published as part of a supplement to the Illustrated London News in February 1886, these engravings provide a fascinating glimpse into rural leisure activities during Victorian times. They showcase not only the thrill of hunting but also highlight the strong bond between humans and animals. The artwork beautifully captures various elements associated with hunting: dogs eagerly joining their human companions on horseback, racehorses galloping alongside ponies and shire horses, all amidst picturesque countryside scenery. Additionally, it features other farm animals such as deerhounds and basset hounds that were commonly used for state hunting purposes. This print from Look and Learn / Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection is an exquisite representation of English culture in the 19th century. It offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in history while appreciating both artistic skill and wildlife beauty captured within this remarkable piece.
