These intricately detailed scissor-cut pictures, titled "The Meet," "Full Cry," and "The Return Home," were created by the renowned artist Captain H.L. Oakley. In "The Meet," the huntsmen and hounds gather around the Master of the Hunt, eagerly awaiting the start of the chase. The Master, dressed in traditional hunting attire, gives the signal for the hunt to begin. The hounds, depicted with their ears pricked and eyes focused, are poised and ready to follow their quarry. "Full Cry" captures the intensity of the chase, with the hounds in full pursuit of the elusive fox. The silhouettes of the riders and their horses are scattered throughout the image, adding to the dynamic and chaotic scene. Finally, in "The Return Home," the hunt comes to an end, and the weary riders make their way back to the stables. The sun begins to set, casting a warm glow over the scene. The hounds, having given their all during the chase, are rewarded with food and rest. These stunning silhouette images offer a unique glimpse into the world of fox hunting in the York and Ainsty country during the 1920s. They capture the excitement, intensity, and tradition of this beloved pastime, making them a must-see for anyone interested in the history of sporting and social events of the era.
