EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print, titled 'Mr. Facey Romfords Hounds' by John Leech, depicts an English huntsman, Facey Romford, and a lady, Mrs. Lucy Somerville, admiring a fox swimming across a river. The scene exudes an air of elegance and luxury, as the pair watch the wild fox from the tranquil banks of the river. Facey Romford, a seasoned huntsman, raises his hat and shouts in excitement, while Mrs. Somerville, a widow and socialite, sits sidesaddle on her mount with a thoughtful expression. The background of the print reveals a grand interior of Beldon Hall, with its ornate chandeliers, brown holland covers, and furniture adorned with tassels and fringes. The room is filled with the sophistication and opulence of the Victorian era. The print, handcoloured and produced as a steel engraving after an illustration by Leech, showcases the intricacies and attention to detail that were characteristic of the time. Leech, a renowned English caricaturist and illustrator, was best known for his work with Punch magazine, adding a touch of humor and comical flair to this otherwise refined scene. The print invites us to imagine the excitement and anticipation of a day's hunt, the elegance of the huntress and her mount, and the thrill of observing nature's wild creatures in their natural habitat. This image is a testament to the charm and allure of the English countryside and the traditions of the Victorian era.
