A collection of framed photolithographic prints after original works by the artist John Paley. The suite depicts various humorous vignettes of British country life, sporting activities, and domestic situations. The subject matter includes gundogs in training, shooting parties, gardening mishaps, and dinner table scenes. The prints are plate-signed PALEY within the image area, and one print includes the inscription with apologies to James Hardy, referencing the well-known 19th-century sporting artist. Notable captions include Whatever you do don’t panic, You’re the one who wanted to come!, It’s official, your cat is an endangered species!, Say please, and You’ve really blown it this time Cassius!. Each print is mounted in a matching dark-stained wooden frame with a gilded inner slip.
