EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Billy is introduced to the Majors Harriers, 1858" we are transported back in time to witness a moment of great enthusiasm and anticipation. The artist, John Leech, masterfully captures the essence of this scene from Robert Smith Surtees' novel "Ask Mamma; or, The Richest Commoner in England". Set against a picturesque farmyard backdrop with lush greenery all around, two men stand at the center of attention. One can sense their excitement as they prepare for an exhilarating day of hunting. Dressed in vibrant jackets that add a splash of color to the composition, these gentlemen exude confidence and style. The focus shifts towards Billy - our protagonist - who stands beside his loyal foxhound. His eyes gleam with determination as he eagerly awaits his introduction to the renowned Majors Harriers. This pivotal moment signifies Billy's entry into a world filled with adventure and camaraderie. Leech's etching technique brings out every intricate detail on each character's face, showcasing their individual personalities through subtle caricature elements. The stable behind them serves as a reminder of the rustic charm associated with country life during this era. This remarkable publication by Bradbury and Evans transports us back to 1858 when hunting was not just a sport but also an expression of one's social status and love for nature. Through this evocative image, we are reminded of the timeless allure that lies within outdoor pursuits and our connection to animals like dogs
