Abstract:

In the top image, four horsemen, one man on foot, and three hounds chase a fox across the fields. Clockwise, a small image shows an alerted fox lying on the ground, a decapitated fowl under his paw, accosted by two snarling dogs. Below is an image of a hound. At the bottom, an image of a man with a gun and two spaniels in pursuit of ducks converges with an image of a man and two hounds chasing a hare. Above it, a depiction of a hare is followed by that of a fox caught and attacked by a group of hounds.
