"Oooooooh! A moving picture with a chase scene. Fabulous!"

"This fine hunting panorama, compliments of 19th Century Fox, was drawn by the
'illustrious'Sir John Dean Paul, engraved by Mr. Henry Alken, and published by
Messrs R & J Fuller at their 'Temple of Fancy' in 1822. It's full of thrills, spills,
and chills, as they say in la-la land. And I'm happy to report that no horses, foxes,
or hounds were injured in the drawing of this scene (although several 'extras' did
require warm baths, liniment, and copious amounts of hot 'toddy'); so enjoy it to
your heart's content."
