1790200098AG1790. London John Deeley c.1790. Original hand-coloured engraving. Plate Size: 61 cm x 46.5 cm. Frame Size: 77 cm x 63 cm. In very good- condition. Minor abrasion with slight tear to upper part of engraving. A wonderful scene by John Nost Sartorius illustrating a late 18th century British fox hunt in rich clear engravings by J. Neagle and J. Peltro. Plate IV shows the bad/good culmination of the hunt one's opinion depending on whose side one takes - the hunters or the hunted as the team of riders and excited hounds have captured the fox. The differing expressions on the riders' faces are fascinating. The accompanying lines of verse from William Somerville's 'The Chase' 1735 read as follows: "A chosen few / Alone the sport enjoy nor droop beneath / Their pleasing toils. The unerring hounds / With peals of echoing vengeance close pursue. / Listen! now they are at him again. Now Reynard / Look to yourself. It is just up with him. / What a crash they make; the whole wood resounds. / That turn was very short. There now; / Aye; now they have him. Who-hoop. Further inscription reads: 'To Charles Boldero Esqr of Aspeden Hall Herts. This Print is dedicated by his much obliged and obedient Servant John Harris.' John Nost Sartorius 17551828 was an English painter of horses horse-racing and hunting scenes. He is considered the best-known and prolific of the Sartorius family of artists. Wikipedia unknown
