British sporting artists from Barlow to Herring
Walter Shaw Sparrow's 1922 survey British Sporting Artists from Barlow to Herring, published in London by John Lane and New York by Scribner's, traces the history of English sporting painting and prints for collectors and art readers. The plates here are hunting scenes: a mounted figure with a horse, a fox hunt with hounds and riders in red coats, a chase across open country, and a winter run through bare trees. A designer might take their dynamic diagonal compositions, dense groupings of horses and hounds, and the tonal engraving style of the period.
