This framed traditional British sporting print presents an original 1930s Christmas card by Charlie Johnson Payne, known as Snaffles. The paper artwork is set beneath glass in a later cream double mount and enclosed within a slender black ebonised wooden frame with a rectangular profile. The right side shows a hand-coloured scene depicting a huntsman in a red coat on horseback alongside a running foxhound in a landscape with bare trees under a pale sky. The left side displays a printed greeting reading 'A Happy Christmas And Good Going In 1939', accompanied by handwritten inscriptions in black ink reading 'Dear Dick' at the top and 'from us both. Snaffles' towards the bottom. The piece measures 11 cm high, 36.5 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep. Suitable for an English country house interior, this framed greeting works well on a narrow wall space, in a hallway, or within a study. It hangs alongside other equestrian artwork, traditional sporting collections, or period watercolours. The elongated proportions allow placement in compact architectural gaps, such as between doorways, beside bookshelves, or on a staircase landing.

FAQs

Charles Johnson Payne, known by the pseudonym Snaffles, was a prominent 20th-century British artist renowned for his detailed and authentic depictions of fox hunting, horse racing, and military life.

These works were traditionally printed on paper stock using lithographic or offset print techniques, often mounted in card apertures and protected behind glass within solid wood frames.

Authentic pieces feature signature printed or handwritten text, distinct artist remarques, period typography, and natural age-related toning on the paper background.

They can be displayed as part of a gallery wall alongside contemporary line drawings or placed individually in a study, library, or hallway to introduce traditional character.

Keep paper artwork away from direct sunlight and humid environments, utilizing UV-filtering glass and acid-free mounting boards to prevent fading and discolouration.
