EDITORS COMMENTS
An Anxious Moment (engraving) captures a riveting scene of anticipation and tension, beautifully depicted by the talented artist John Charlton. This print, part of a private collection, takes us back to the late 19th century when bloodsports were still prevalent. The engraving showcases a dramatic hunting moment featured in The Graphic on December 31st, 1887. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported to an era where railways played a significant role in facilitating such pursuits. In this gripping composition, deer gracefully dart across the landscape as two dogs eagerly pursue their prey. The atmosphere is thick with anxiety as hunters hold their breaths for that crucial instant before releasing their weapons. Every detail meticulously engraved by Charlton brings forth the intensity and excitement of the chase. This artwork not only highlights the skillful technique employed by Charlton but also serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with nature and animals throughout history. It prompts reflection on how our attitudes towards bloodsports have evolved over time. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with access to an extraordinary piece from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection. Through this remarkable print, we can appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to transport us back in time.
