The Hunt Breakfast And Hunt Supper by Cecil Aldin.
This is one of Cecil Aldin's most famous hunting series 'The Fallowfield Hunt' which tells the story of a days hunting. It was a sequence of six pictures, The Hunt Breakfast at the Three Pigeons, Breaking Cover, Full Cry, A Check, The Death and finally The Hunt Supper. This original pair of lithograph prints depicts the start and finish of the hunting day, The Hunt Breakfast And The Hunt Supper. As with a lot of Aldin's pictures there are touches of humour, depicting Breakfast at the Three Pigeons and a boisterous party celebrating the end of the hunt. In the breakfast scene five gentlemen have nearly missed the start of the hunt. The are desperately trying to finish off their breakfast as the hunt can be seen passing the open door. In the supper scene a large bowl of punch is on the table with a couple of decanters and the gentlemen are seen singing at the top of their voices, even the dogs are joining in. One gentleman is riding a chair as if it is a horse. A great pair of Fox Hunting pictures with great colouring and in their original oak frames with oak mounts.
The pictures have been removed from their frames, glass cleaned etc. and put back with new backing paper.
