Charles "Snaffles" Johnson Payne (1884-1967) was an English painter known for his humorous work and for his outstanding draughtsmanship and depiction of the horse in action. Snaffles specialised in water colours and drawings sold as prints which, at least initially, were hand-coloured by the artist and his sisters. His subject matter was invariably military, racing or hunting / equestrian scenes (polo, pig sticking), or some combination of these. Many of his most famous pictures contrast or combine military life with the peacetime pursuits of racing and hunting. The vast majority of his racing pictures show point-to-pointing (i.e. amateur racing organised by the hunt to raise funds) rather than racing under rules. In each of these and many others there is one or more mounted person in hunt dress. The general background (pitched tents, running stream rather than artificial ditches) is indicative of a point-to-point course rather than a permanent racecourse. The title "Oh to be in England now that April's here!" specifically refers to the point-to-point season which in those days would have been at the end of the hunting season, i.e. spring. Snaffles had a distinctive drawing style, often showing just one person in detail. In addition, his pictures are often recognisable from the use of the incorporation of one or a number of sketches (often uncoloured) around the principal image (what is sometimes referred to as a remarque), and some additional caption, often amusing, to supplement the picture's title and further explain the scene. As well as reproductions of his famous prints, this book introduces original works from private collections never before reproduced in magazine of book form, and many light hearted and amusing sketches.
