This engraving by Samuel Howitt in 1798 is the first of a set of six, these hunting prints were extremely popular in their time, even now they they turn up frequently at picture and print auctions, I have aquired a couple of sets over the years and just down the road an antique shop has a set for sale at over two hundred pounds, he is one of my favorite etchers who drew his own designs.
