Attack and Defence (engraving)
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Callcott Horsley captures a moment of playful excitement in the countryside. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an enchanting scene from the past. In this delightful image, we see a group of boys engaging in a spirited game of attack and defence. Dressed as cavaliers, they embody the chivalry and gallantry associated with that era. Their plumed hats add to their charming appearance as they strategize their next move. The focal point of the picture is two young girls who are at the center of attention. One holds a fan coyly while her spaniel looks on curiously. The other girl stands near them, wearing an intricate hat adorned with feathers. The setting for this lively encounter is Haddon Hall's beautiful garden. A gardener can be seen in the background tending to his duties while observing these amusing antics unfold. This engraving was originally featured in Modern Art's second series edited by James Dafforne around 1880. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we can now appreciate its intricate details and vibrant colors anew. With its mix of historical charm and innocent fun, "Attack and Defence" transports us back to a simpler time filled with laughter and camaraderie among friends. It serves as a reminder that even amidst life's challenges, there is always room for playfulness and joy.
