Literature: 'The Croome Hounds' by Daphne Moore. Country Life Magazine c.1950
Rambler (b.1873) and Marksman (b.1874) were favourite hounds of Lord Coventry. He was a keen huntsman having founded the North Cotswold Hunt in 1867 and in 1882 The Croome. Besides founding two Hunts, he also held the unique distinction of owning racehorses that won two Grand Nationals in consecutive years.
Daphne Moore, the hunting correspondent writing about the Croome Hounds c.1950, emphasized the influence of Rambler as a perfect type of hound. 'Who could have dreamed that in 1949 well-bred hounds in almost every kennel in England would have at least a trace of Rambler's blood in their veins ?'...to the hound-man The Croome and the name of Coventry immediately recalls Rambler. Anyone who has seen his portrait by Lutyens, will remember him as being the perfect type of hound for any age and any country...'
Charles Lutyens the artist spent his early adult life in the Army, joining the 20th foot and sailed with them in 1850 to serve in Canada. In 1857 he left the army to take up life as professional artist. He based himself at Onslow Square, London where he soon established a fashionable practice. During this period he became a friend of Edwin Landseer PRA, and after whom he named his son in 1863. He exhibited at The Royal Academy between 1861 and 1903. His patrons included the Duchess of Montrose, Lord Bradford and The Duke of Portland
