EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a heart-pounding moment of exhilaration amidst the picturesque English countryside. Taken from "The Right and The Wrong Sort" an iconic series of hunting sketches, this particular plate showcases the extraordinary talent of renowned artist Henry Thomas Alken. In this scene, we witness a group of skilled equestrians galloping through lush fields, their horses effortlessly leaping over a formidable hedge. The riders display remarkable agility as they scramble to keep up with the hounds eagerly following a scent trail. Their determination and passion for the sport are palpable in every stride. Alken's masterful use of color lithography brings this dynamic image to life, highlighting each detail with precision and vibrancy. The composition perfectly balances the natural beauty of rural landscapes with the thrilling action unfolding before our eyes. As we gaze upon this artwork, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless appeal. It transports us to an era where horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also an art form and beloved pastime. This print serves as both a testament to British sporting traditions and as an exquisite piece that evokes feelings of excitement and admiration for those who partake in such daring pursuits. Displayed proudly within private collections worldwide, this exceptional work is preserved by The British Sporting Art Trust—a testament to its enduring significance in capturing the essence of equestrian sportsmanship throughout history.
