Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Sporting Artists From Barlow to Herring It is with more than usual pleasure that I commend to the English-speaking world the very remarkable book in which these lines are granted a place of honour; for it accomplishes, far better than I ever dreamt, a vision I had long cherished, an ideal I have inevitably postponed, and it will be warmly welcomed on each side of the Atlantic. Now that Charles Furse is dead, there is hardly a first-rate artist living, except Alfred Munnings, whose appreciation of the infinite possibilities of sport in art has been translated into such paintings as may be found among the best of the old masters in this volume. The portrait of the Prince of Wales on Forest Witch rightly deserved its special place in last year's Royal Academy, because Mr. Munnings had not only achieved a first-rate work of modern art, but had recalled the best traditions of the old sporting artist. What these traditions mean Mr. Shaw Sparrow has explained in the first pages of their kind which have ever - to my knowledge - begun to do justice to their subject; and I know most of them. What a subject it is! The best of English open-air life is portrayed by men who knew it well because they shared in it. If we only considered it as a record of two and a half centuries of England, it would be invaluable. But as a collection of actual examples, reproduced, it stands 3lonc in its contribution to our knowledge of a splendid company of painters. Any previous verdicts on Tillemans or Barlow (to take only two instances) will be transfigured by Mr. Shaw Sparrow's industry and taste. I have not merely admired his selection of pictures, I have read his text, and it is with full responsibility that I can commend both to his readers. I only hope they may leave me some small share of their gratitude. There arc pictures here which have never been reproduced before, and others which - by the new colour-processes employed - will make a brighter appeal than has ever been possible in works of this kind.

Download or read book Six Centuries of Foxhunting written by M. L. Biscotti and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-06-23 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunting literature had its beginnings as early as the fourteenth century, when nobles hunted stag, bear, fox, and other game on horseback. As foxhunting grew in popularity, literary works that covered the sport flourished, as well. In Six Centuries of Foxhunting: An Annotated Bibliography, M. L. Biscotti has compiled all books produced in Great Britain and the United States that pertain to, or mention, foxhunting with hounds. Arranged alphabetically by author, more than 2000 titles are included. Each entry features details such as place and year of publication, publisher, book size, page count, illustrations, and binding. Nearly every title is also annotated with a description of the book’s contents, and biographical sketches are provided for the most notable authors. Narratives, histories, illustrated works, verse, fiction, and even anti-hunting literature all have their place in this volume. Six Centuries of Foxhunting also features more than thirty images of book covers and foxhunting illustrations. With appendixes that contain author, title, and illustrator time lines, and separate author and title indexes, this comprehensive bibliography is a valuable resource for researchers, book dealers and collectors, and foxhunters.
