Pair of Hunting Prints by John Leech

19th century
Description

A pair of comic hunting prints by the caricaturist John Leech. They are a good size, each measuring 74 cm x 54 cm (frame size 77 cm x 57 cm) and each bearing his signature on the bottom left.

John Leech (1817-1864) was a British caricaturist and illustrator, best known for his work on "Punch". His critical, yet humorous cartoons on the Crimean War helped shape public opinion towards heroism, warfare and Britain's role in the world. He also achieved fame as the first illustrator of Charles Dickens 1843 novella, A Christmas Carol.

His caricatures of the 'hunting set' are well depicted here.

FAQs

Victorian sporting prints typically depict equestrian activities, fox hunting, and rural pursuits, popularized by artists like John Leech and published in periodicals or standalone series during the 19th century.

These artwork pieces were commonly created using hand-coloured engravings, lithographs, or chromolithography on woven paper, frequently mounted within glazed timber or ebonised frames.

Authentic prints feature clear plate marks or characteristic dot patterns under magnification, contemporary paper age-toning, handwritten captions, and original publisher imprints from the period.

Hang these prints in a traditional study, hallway gallery wall, or above a fireplace to add classical character, pairing them with warm wood tones or dark-painted backdrop walls.

Keep framed prints away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and foxing, and clean the glass gently using a dry microfibre cloth without spraying liquids directly onto the frame.
