Sanderson-Wells\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA spirited piece of English sporting art, this antique print titled \"Forrad, Away!\" captures the thrill of the hunt in full cry. A huntsman in a scarlet coat rides down a muddy autumn lane as his pack of foxhounds surges forward, three hounds bounding across the bank in the foreground, while the rest of the field crosses an old stone bridge behind him. Golden autumn trees, a quiet stream, and a soft, cloudy sky complete a scene that feels quintessentially English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print is signed in the plate at lower right, J.S. Sanderson-Wells, with the title printed in Gothic lettering below the image. It's set in a warm, toned mat within a gilt wood frame featuring a beaded outer edge and decorative inner border, its gently worn finish adding to the piece's age and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCountry of Origin: England\u003cbr\u003eEstimated Date: Early 20th century\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Color print, matted and framed under glass in gilt wood frame\u003cbr\u003eArtist: After J.S. Sanderson-Wells (signed in the plate)\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: [add framed measurements]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003eGood antique condition, consistent with age. The mat and paper show toning and light discoloration. The gilt frame shows rubbing, scuffs, and wear to the finish, particularly along the edges and corners. The original paper backing is torn and aged, with older hanging cord and string still attached; we recommend adding new hanging wire before display. These characteristics contribute to the authenticity and character of the piece and do not detract from its beauty. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollected Notes\u003cbr\u003e\"Forrad, away!\" was a traditional hunting cry used to urge the hounds onward once they'd picked up the scent, and this print captures exactly that moment of excitement. John Sanderson-Wells was among the British painters celebrated for lively hunting and coaching scenes, and his works were widely reproduced as prints for English homes, inns, and clubs. Scenes like this one remain beloved for their energy, detail, and nostalgic portrait of country life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy We Collected It\u003cbr\u003eWe love the sense of motion in this scene, from the leaping hounds in the foreground to the riders streaming over the bridge. The autumn palette is warm and inviting, and the softly worn gilt frame gives it the genuine, lived-in feel of a piece that's hung in an English country house for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTisbury House Styling Notes\u003cbr\u003eHang this print in a library, study, entryway, or powder room for a classic English country feel, or lean it on a bookshelf or mantel among leather-bound books and brass. It's a natural companion to our framed print \"An Early Find,\" which shares the same artist and a matching frame; together they make a wonderful pair for flanking a fireplace, doorway, or sideboard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tisbury House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50740218724400,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/5528\/2224\/files\/Antique_Framed_English_Hunt_Print_Forrad_Away_after_J.S._Sanderson-Wells.jpg?v=1791488423","url":"https:\/\/www.tisburyhouse.com\/products\/antique-framed-english-hunt-print-forrad-away-after-j-s-sanderson-wells","provider":"Tisbury House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
