EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration by Cecil Aldin, dated 1927, showcases Tom Newman, the Duke of Beaufort's accomplished huntsman, taking part as a handler at the Peterborough Foxhound Show. Newman's unique ability to command the attention of his hounds is on full display, as he strikes various poses that border on the balletic. With a comic and humorous touch that is characteristic of Aldin's style, the illustration transports us back to the 1920s, a time when hunting was a popular pastime for the aristocracy. Newman's connection with his hounds is palpable, as he seamlessly blends into the scene with his red jacket and hat, surrounded by the eager and attentive foxhounds. The illustration captures the essence of the hunt, with the dogs' focused expressions and the sense of anticipation in the air. Aldin's illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the huntsman, and the deep bond between man and dog. It is a charming reminder of a bygone era, when the hunt was a central part of country life, and the role of the huntsman was one of great respect and admiration. This illustration is not only a beautiful work of art, but also a historical document that captures the spirit of the 1920s and the world of hunting. It is a must-have for any collection of country sports or hunting memorabilia, and a delight for anyone who appreciates the comic and humorous illustrations of Cecil Aldin.
