A Curious Finish 

"A Curious Finish" is a humorous illustration by John Leech, a renowned English artist known for his satirical cartoons and sketches. This work, crafted in the style of 19th-century wood engraving, captures a scene from a hunting expedition. A man, dressed in traditional hunting attire, races away from a fox that has climbed a tree, while a horseback rider watches on with amusement. The scene is filled with details characteristic of Leech's style, including the expressive figures and the depiction of the everyday life and customs of the English countryside. This lighthearted depiction of a fox hunt serves as a testament to Leech's talent for capturing the humor and absurdity of Victorian social life.
