EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "The Epping Hunt, or Cockney Comicalities in full Chase" takes us back to the rural countryside of 1824. The chaotic scene depicted is filled with a flurry of action and humor, showcasing the comical side of this traditional English hunt. In the foreground, we witness men on horseback chasing after various animals including cows, pigs, and even a bucking horse. The dogs are in hot pursuit while riders struggle to maintain control amidst all the chaos. A horse-drawn carriage adds an element of excitement as it races alongside them. Isaac Robert Cruikshank's artistic talent shines through his intricate detailing and lively characters that seem to leap off the page. Each figure tells its own story – from a man falling off his horse to another attempting to kick away an overzealous hound. This print captures not only the thrill of hunting but also showcases the humorous side of such events. It offers a glimpse into early 19th-century sporting culture where both sportswomen and sportsmen participated in these exhilarating pursuits. "The Epping Hunt" serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and provides insight into how leisure activities have evolved over time. This charming piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and hilarity found within this country scene.
