Crafted in England circa 1880, and titled "The Bury Hunt," the scene shows a group of well-dressed men on horseback, accompanied by hunting dogs, in a lush countryside setting. The print is housed in a wooden frame with a burled wood finish, adding a touch of elegance to the piece; the watercolor is further protected with a glass. The overall composition and attire suggest a formal fox hunting event, a popular activity among the British aristocracy during that era. The engraving is noted as respectfully dedicated by the artist, which adds a personalized and possibly historical significance to the piece. The fine details of the lettering and the presence of a crest or coat of arms further suggest that this print was created as a tribute or a commissioned work, likely for someone of importance in the Lancashire area. The wall decoration is in excellent condition with wonderful details. Dedication: "To Edm. Grundy, Esq. of Bury, Lancashire"; painted by C. Agar, the animals by J. Maiden, and engraved by F. Bromley, for further authentication.
