EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand titled "HUNTER, 1880. Gun-Shy" transports us back to late 19th century America, capturing a poignant moment between a hunter and his loyal hunting dog. The American engraving showcases the deep bond between man and animal as the hunter attempts to coax his gun-shy companion. In this image, we see an African American assistant dressed in a cap and coat standing beside the determined hunter. The scene is set in an open field, with the hunter holding a rifle firmly in his hands while gently encouraging his canine partner to overcome its fear. This tender interaction speaks volumes about trust, patience, and perseverance. The historical context of this photograph adds another layer of significance. It offers us a glimpse into leisure activities during that era when hunting was not only considered a sport but also served as a means for sustenance. The presence of an African American assistant challenges preconceived notions about race relations at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry, let us appreciate the skillful craftsmanship behind this American engraving from 1880. Its timeless appeal reminds us of our shared history while celebrating the beauty found within human-animal connections across cultures and generations.
