Fox hunting scenes, December 1930

Fox hunting scenes, December 1930. The Hunting Field in Silhouette: Cut-outs of Scenes in the Neighbourhood of York, from the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News: Full Cry. Hunting with the York and Ainsty (North) Pack near Marston Moor. At the Meet on the Village Green in the Ainsty country. Good Night! Hounds returning to kennels near Dunnington. Silhouette by Harry Lawrence Oakley who made tens of thousands of silhouettes between the 1920s and 1950s. Oakley produced portraits, book and newspaper illustrations, and stationery. He perfected the technique of speedily cutting folded paper with scissors, with no prior drawing, and found a good market for his portraits, including those of famous people and royalty. ©SSPL/H L Oakley
