EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the Tudor period. Titled "The Hunt is Up and it is well nigh day and Harry our King is gone hunting" this illustration from Pan-Pipes, A Book of Old Songs takes us on a journey through time. Painted by Walter Crane in 1884, this color lithograph showcases an exhilarating hunt scene. The image depicts a group of hunters on horseback, accompanied by their loyal pack of dogs eagerly chasing after their quarry. The riders are adorned in traditional attire, exuding elegance and grace as they navigate through the countryside. The intricate details in this artwork bring life to every element within the composition. From the flowing manes of the horses to the determined expressions on both human and canine faces, one can almost hear the sounds of hooves pounding against earth and barking echoing through the air. This piece also pays homage to William Gray's ballad composed for King Henry VIII himself. It beautifully encapsulates not only a thrilling sport but also highlights historical significance. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded that some traditions transcend time. The thrill of pursuit, camaraderie amongst fellow sportsmen and women, and nature's beauty remain timeless treasures cherished throughout generations.
