Cecil Aldin, In The Open, Fox Hunting Print.
A wonderful original fox hunting chromolithograph print by Cecil Aldin titled 'IN THE OPEN'. The picture is in its original Arts & Crafts shaped oak faced plywood frame, with applied bas-relief plaster decoration and title. The hunting print, as with most of Aldin's pictures in this genre have touches of humour, a gentleman's hat is blowing off his head and another has been thrown from his horse and he is climbing out of the ditch.
The scene can also be seen in the book of Aldin's called 'A Sporting Garland' (published in 1902 by Sands & Co). The book was in 3 sections, one each on fox-hunting, shooting and fishing. Each section had its own main illustration that was separately published as a large chromolithograph print. Shooting was called 'THE FIRST', Fox Hunting 'IN THE OPEN' and Fishing 'A LIKELY SPOT'.
