Hardback. Robert Smith Surtees; Henry Thomas Alken, Robert Smith Surtees. Author: Robert Smith Surtees; Henry Thomas AlkenBinding: HardbackPublished: Robert Smith Surtees, 1989Condition:Book: GoodJacket: Slipcase: WornPages: GoodMarkings: No markingsThe Analysis of the Hunting Field by Robert Smith Surtees, illustrated by Henry Thomas Alken, is a satirical and richly detailed portrayal of English foxhunting culture in the mid-19th century. Originally published in 1846 and reissued by the R.S. Surtees Society in 1989, the book offers a series of character sketches that humorously dissect the personalities and social dynamics of the hunting field-from the pompous master to the eager whipper-in. Surtees's sharp wit and Alken's vivid illustrations combine to create a lively tableau of sporting life, blending social commentary with affectionate mockery of the rituals and eccentricities that defined the hunt.
