Introduction

Whilst helping out in Nantwich Museum, I discovered "Portrait Sketches of Cheshire Hunting Men (from 1850 to 1890)" by Frank Massey of Poole Hall.
It's beautifully illustrated by Frank, and the pictures (and commentary) are frequently poking fun at the riders. 

I shall be adding more on-line when time permits. Regardless of what your views on hunting may be, I think you'll find it's a fascinating insight into an gone gone by.  I hope that it will be useful for students of both history and art, and that you will enjoy it as much as I have.
