EDITORS COMMENTS
Quack-tastic decoy action: A historical snapshot of the ultimate duck hunting duo!". In this illustration from Payne Galway's collection, we witness a truly remarkable partnership between man's best friend and an ingenious duck decoy. The scene unfolds as our feathered friends unwittingly fall into the trap set by these cunning hunters. As we zoom in, we can see the entrance to the decoy pipe, cleverly concealed amidst nature's beauty. Our trusty lure dog is hard at work, luring unsuspecting ducks towards their fowl fate. With every wag of its tail and playful bark, it entices these waterfowls closer to their destiny. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also showcases humanity's resourcefulness when it comes to trapping and exploiting wildlife for sport. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors used their wits and creativity to survive in challenging times. While today we appreciate birds' natural beauty through photography or birdwatching without harm, let us marvel at this historical artwork that sheds light on different eras' perspectives on wildfowl hunting. So take a step back into history with P. Morris' stunning print - where dogs were working partners rather than mere companions - and immerse yourself in this fascinating tale of ducks deceived!
