The Holderness Hunt was founded in 1279 by a grant from Edward I to hunt foxes in the Holderness area, Yorkshire. In the Eighteenth century, William 'Squire' Draper of Beswick Hall was responsible for the re-establishment of the hunt. The present ewer is engraved with the names of the stewards of the hunt for the year 1834. These were Viscount Midleton, Mr A. Bosville and Mr M.C. Maxwell. Alexander William Robert Bosville (1800-1847), who was the eldest son of Sir Godfrey Bosville appears with his horse, Andante, in a portrait of 1836 by John Ferneley, sold Christie’s, London, 8 June 1995, lot 62. The Holderness trophy for 1836, was supplied by Paul Storr and sold Christie’s New York, 27 October 2005, lot 349 ($28,800).
