EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print by Henry Alken, titled "Foxhunting Scene," showcases the thrill and excitement of a traditional English fox hunt. The image is filled with the energy and humor of the sport, as riders on horseback, dressed in their finest hunting attire, eagerly pursue the elusive fox. The scene is set in a picturesque English countryside, with rolling hills and lush greenery stretching out in every direction. The riders, poised and ready, approach a high wall, their horses leaping gracefully over it in a seamless display of athleticism and skill. The wall, once an obstacle, is no match for these choicest of sportsmen. Despite the seriousness of the hunt, there is a sense of playfulness and humor in the print. One rider, in a moment of mishap, has taken a tumble from his horse, adding a touch of comic relief to the scene. His fellow riders, undeterred, continue their pursuit, their focus unwavering. The intricate details of the print, from the textured fabrics of the riders' clothing to the intricately patterned saddles and bridles, transport us back to a bygone era. The print is a testament to the enduring appeal of foxhunting in English culture, a sport that continues to capture the imagination and fascination of generations. This beautiful print by Henry Alken is a must-have for any collector of historic sports art, or for anyone who appreciates the beauty and excitement of the English countryside and the traditions of its past.
