Charles and George Hunt, two of the most skilled and prolific
engravers of their day, flourished during the boom period of the
English Sporting Print (1820-1870). The British public's enthusiasm
for horse racing, hunting and coaching grew rapidly during the
early years of the nineteenth century, and the aspirational middle
classes wanted colourful images of these scenes to decorate their
walls. So the Hunts were kept busy reproducing the oil paintings
and watercolours of, among others, Henry Alken, J. F. Herring, F.
C. Turner and James Pollard, capturing the essence and atmosphere
of this particularly English art.This is a useful reference work
for dealers and collectors of nineteenth-century engravings and
aquatints featuring horse racing, coaching, hunting, other sporting
scenes, and caricatures. It also provides an introduction to the
development of British sporting art from the late seventeenth
century, and the boom in print making from c.1820.
