Review
"'Amanda Lockhart's stunning black and white photographs, taken over the last five years, show foxhunting as it really is: kennelmen, farriers, hunt tailors, bootmakers, hatters, the hounds, huntservants and followers of all shapes and sizes, in their daily tasks and, of course, hunting.'" * The Spectator * "'Amanda Lockhart's photographs are works of art. The Art of the Chase is a testament to the timeless nature of foxhunting even in today's world. An encouraging introduction by Robin Lane Fox and images that warm the heart will make eyes misty and your resolve stiffen'" * The Field * "The Art of the Chase will transport any aficionado immediately to the sights, sounds and smells and bonhomie of a hunting day....Anyone who treasures a hunting day or loves the sight of houndwork, which Robin Lane Fox calls the 'heart of the sport' in his introduction, should buy this book' " * Country Life *
