Default following the hunt

Has anybody heard of this painting before? I was told it is called "following the hunt" and I think the artists first name is Emile?
It is a painting of men in red (equestrian style) coats and helmets around a table... the painting looks almost cartoon like.
thanks

Default fallowfield hunt (breakfast and dinner) by Cecil Aldin

Okay, All the information I gave in this post before was wrong...
I will start from the beginning. Around Christmas time, my husband and I went to a local consignment shop (we live in PA), and we saw 2 HUGE (36x64?) framed prints. I liked them but we did not buy them at that time.
Last week we went on vacation about 2hrs from were we live, and we saw a tinny version of one of the pictures at an antique shop, and I went on the consignment shop's website to see if it was the same picture, and it was!
Before I posted anything here (I was already home) I called the antique shop and asked for information about the picture; The person working told me he thought the artist's name was Emile Aldin and it was called "following the hunt", and I could not find any information on it I also called the Consignment shop and they told me the wall hangings were from the Ceremonial room of the local Elks Club (the building was demolished a few years back) and they also told me, they didn't know the artist or name of it (they obviously didn't look because it says it on the actual print.
Anyhow... My husband actually bought the one painting and the one that came with it, from the local consignment shop today, because I really liked them... and we finally solved the mystery! I am not sure what kind of printing it is... it's old, and chipping a bit on the edges. it seems maybe some sort of print and it is on Masonite board (it says that on the back of the board) so maybe an old poster?
sorry for the long explanation and thanks to the people that read my post and tried to figure this one out
