Description According to Haden: ‘This and The Herd were done in an old chase in which is a hunting lodge which belongs to the Duke of Northumberland, and which before the reform bill returned five members to Parliament. It is one of the finest of our English parks’. Quote taken from Haden’s own handwritten annotations of Sir William Drake’s A Descriptive Catalogue of the Etched Work of Francis Seymour Haden. As cited in Richard S. Schneiderman, A Catalogue Raisonné of the prints of Sir Francis Seymour Haden. London, Robin Garton Ltd., 1983, p.249. The estate was actually owned by Alex Henry Campbell who the Duke of Northumberland sold it to in 1864. The title refers to the three trees at the far right of the scene.
