EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing engraving from the 19th century captures a bizarre scene in the Scottish wilderness. A hunter, determined to outsmart his prey, is depicted disguised as a donkey while shooting wildfowl. The image offers a glimpse into the eccentricities of Victorian hunting practices. The composition showcases the attention to detail and skill of the English School artist who created this print. The hunter's elaborate disguise cleverly conceals his true identity, allowing him to approach unsuspecting flocks of ducks without raising alarm. With shotgun in hand, he patiently waits for the perfect moment to strike. The historical context surrounding this artwork adds depth to its significance. Published in The Daily Graphic on October 26th, 1891, it reflects an era when hunting was not only considered a sport but also an expression of social status and prowess. This particular illustration sheds light on how hunters would go to great lengths to achieve their goals. Beyond its artistic merit, this engraving serves as a testament to British culture and heritage. It encapsulates both the fascination with wildlife and the ingenuity that characterized hunting traditions during that time period. As we admire this piece from our private collection today, we are reminded of how art can transport us back in time and offer glimpses into forgotten aspects of history.
