DEVON & EXETER FOX HUNTING HUNT PICTURE by ALFRED HAIGH

Offered here is an extremely RARE Picture dating to 1912 .This is a FOX HUNTING Print which is signed by the Artist ALFRED G HAIGH , better still the mount has a genuine signature by the Artist in pencil. He is a listed and is an extremely sought after painter.

This picture shows Colonel John Garrett ,Master of the Devon and Exeter Fox Hounds , and in the background is Bishops Court in Exeter .

Colonel Garrett is on Horse Back at the FOX HUNT and in the foreground are the Fox Hounds or Terriers .

This is unusual in that the names of each of the dogs are at the bottom .These read from left to right as HOTSPUR , SAMSON , HARBORER , FASHION , SOLOMON GENERAL , HELPER , RACER , TEMPLAR , GAFFER , HAMLET and FRIAR .

The Master of the Hunt is in his Hunting Regalia and is seated on a glorious white horse .If you look on the website www.bishops-court.co.uk you will see the exact scene of the property in the background of the painting .I am told that a very limited number of prints were given to his leading staff members.

This Picture did hang in KILNWICK HALL in East Yorkshire until 1943 or 1944 until the entire estate was auctioned off .At this time the occupant and owner of the Hall was Captain Byron and this was purchased at the Estate sale by the then housekeeper and her husband who was the gardener .This was subsequently handed down through that family .

I am unsure what the links between the two hunts or Masters of the Hunts was.

 The Picture is framed and glazed and this measures 25 inches x 18.75 .There is an inscription on the back which is difficult to make out .The Picture is in very good condition , but there is some foxing to the white surround or mount .This is probably a unique opportunity to purchase a picture of this hunt .It is an excellent example with particular interest to those interested in the Devon and Exeter Hunt. Hopefully this will end up in a Museum local to Devon or Exeter.

This may be a unique opportunity to purchase such a picture.
