The Grand Leicestershire Fox Hunt - A Thrilling Chase through the English Countryside
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of exhilaration and adventure during "The Grand Leicestershire Fox Hunt". Engraved by Charles Hunt in 1839, this colour litho artwork by Samuel Henry Alken showcases the beauty and excitement of traditional fox hunting. In this particular scene, we witness a group of skilled riders on horseback as they navigate their way through a picturesque rural landscape. The hunters are seen crossing a flowing river with determination, jumping over fallen logs and leaping across obstacles to keep up with the scent of their prey. The hounds eagerly follow suit, adding to the intensity of the chase. Amidst all the action, there is an element of risk as one rider can be seen falling from his horse. This serves as a reminder that fox hunting demands both courage and skill from its participants. The English countryside provides an idyllic backdrop for this thrilling pursuit. Lush fields stretch out before them, while streams meander through verdant landscapes. It is truly a sight to behold - nature's own arena for this age-old sport. This print not only celebrates the artistry involved in depicting such scenes but also pays homage to the rich tradition and heritage associated with fox hunting in England. It serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of sportswomen and sportsmen who have embraced this exhilarating pastime throughout history.
