About the Item

Vanity Fair Fox Hunting Chromolithograph, Quorn Hunt at Kirby Gate, 1901 Description: A lively and richly detailed Vanity Fair chromolithograph titled Fox Hunting – Quorn Hunt, published as a Supplement to Vanity Fair in November 1901 and drawn by the celebrated sporting artist Cuthbert Bradley. This large-format composition captures the celebrated Quorn Hunt assembled at Kirby Gate, presenting an animated panorama of Edwardian hunting society at the height of its cultural prestige. Bradley was widely admired for his ability to combine accurate equestrian observation with social narrative, and this print exemplifies his distinctive approach. Rather than isolating a single rider, the artist arranges a sweeping ensemble of mounted figures, huntsmen, aristocrats, and spectators across a pastoral landscape, creating both a documentary record and a dynamic social portrait. The scene includes notable participants such as Captain Hartopp MFH, huntsmen Tom Firr and Walter Kyte, the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Lonsdale, Princess Henry of Pless, and numerous other prominent figures identified in the printed key. The chromolithographic technique enhances the vividness of the red hunting coats, varied horse breeds, and atmospheric countryside setting, making the print particularly appealing for collectors of sporting art, equestrian history, and British social caricature associated with Vanity Fair. Supplements like this were issued as special large plates and are increasingly sought after due to their decorative scale and historical richness. The composition balances narrative complexity with strong decorative appeal, making it equally suitable for a traditional study, country house interior, or refined contemporary space where British sporting heritage is appreciated. Collectors value Vanity Fair sporting plates for their blend of portraiture, satire, and documentation of elite social culture, and Bradley’s hunting scenes remain among the most visually engaging examples produced by the magazine. Condition: Good antique condition consistent with age. Light toning to margins and handling wear visible. No Central fold, which is rare. Colours remain strong and well preserved. Framing Tips: This large horizontal composition benefits from a wide ivory or off-white mat and a dark walnut or black frame to emphasize the rich chromolithographic colours. Museum-style glazing recommended to protect the surface and maintain colour vibrancy.
