EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Falling Off, plate from The Right and The Wrong Sort, in Fores Hunting Sketches" takes us back to the Victorian era, immersing us in a scene of thrilling equestrian sport. Created by Henry Thomas Alken and engraved by John Harris in 1859, this colour lithograph captures the essence of rural life and the excitement of hunting. The image showcases a breathtaking landscape with rolling hills and a rustic wooden fence serving as an obstacle for the riders. In the midst of galloping horses and eager hounds following their scent trail, one rider is caught mid-air as they fall off their horse while attempting to jump over the fence. This moment frozen in time reminds us that even skilled hunters can experience unexpected mishaps during their pursuit. With its impeccable attention to detail and vibrant colors, this print transports us into a world where adrenaline-filled hunts were not only a sport but also an integral part of British culture. It serves as a testament to both Alken's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the raw emotions experienced by those participating in such daring activities. As we admire this masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how art has the power to transport us through time, allowing us glimpses into different eras while preserving history for generations to come.
