"Who...op, Was Never So Carried, from The Pytchley Hunt" is an evocative and dynamic engraving created by F. Dukes between 1745 and 1812, based on a painting by Charles Lorraine Smith in 1790. This artwork captures the essence of the English hunting tradition, specifically focusing on the Pytchley Hunt, one of the most renowned fox hunting packs in England. The Pytchley Hunt, established in the 17th century, has a storied history and has been a subject of fascination and artistic representation for centuries.

Charles Lorraine Smith, an English painter known for his sporting and hunting scenes, masterfully depicted the thrill and vigor of the hunt in his original painting. The engraving by F. Dukes translates Smith's dynamic composition into a detailed and intricate print, preserving the energy and movement of the scene. The title, "Who...op, Was Never So Carried," suggests a sense of exhilaration and unparalleled experience, likely referring to the excitement and intensity of the hunt.

The engraving showcases a moment of high action, with hunters and their hounds in full pursuit of their quarry. The attention to detail in the depiction of the horses, riders, and landscape reflects the skill and precision of both Smith and Dukes. The work not only serves as a visual record of the hunting practices of the time but also as a testament to the cultural significance of the hunt in 18th-century England.

This piece is a valuable example of sporting art, a genre that gained popularity in Britain during the 18th and 19th centuries. It provides insight into the social and recreational activities of the British aristocracy and gentry, who often commissioned such works to celebrate their participation in these pursuits. The engraving remains an important artifact for understanding the historical context and artistic trends of the period.
