EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Game Birds and Shooting Sketches" transports us back to the 19th century when hunting was a popular pastime. Created by the talented artist John Guille Millais in 1892, this print captures the essence of grouse shooting with its intricate details. In this scene, we see a group of game birds resting peacefully amidst their natural habitat. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully portrays each bird with precision and accuracy. From the majestic kite soaring above to the snipy hiding amongst the grass, every element adds depth to this composition. Millais' inspiration for this artwork can be traced back to Thomas Bewick, an influential figure in British ornithology who died in 1828. By paying homage to Bewick's work through his own unique style, Millais showcases his admiration for both nature and artistry. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of a time when hunters would embark on thrilling expeditions in pursuit of these magnificent creatures. It serves as a visual reminder of our connection with nature and how it has shaped our history. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Millais' talent but also the beauty found within game birds and shooting sketches.
