EDITORS COMMENTS
In this whimsical engraving titled "A Days Sport, Mr Stodge after the Rabbits" we are transported back to a time when hunting was not just a sport but an art form. Created by Alfred Courbould in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of a comical council of war between Mr Stodge and his trusty companions. As we gaze at the scene before us, we see Mr Stodge standing proudly with his stodgy figure and determined expression. Armed with his sticks and accompanied by a group of eager rabbits, he prepares for an adventurous day out in pursuit of these elusive creatures. The humor lies in the fact that despite their best efforts, it seems as though the tables have turned on our protagonist. The rabbits appear to be strategizing amongst themselves while poor Mr Stodge looks on anxiously. Will he manage to pull off a successful hit? Or will these clever bunnies outsmart him once again? Through Courbould's skilled craftsmanship, we are reminded that even in moments of leisurely pursuits like hunting, unexpected turns can bring both frustration and amusement. This artwork serves as a delightful reminder that sometimes it is not about winning or losing but rather embracing the joyous spirit of sport itself. This engraving from Bridgeman Images invites us to step into this humorous world where rabbits hold council meetings and hunters find themselves at odds with their prey. It is truly a testament to Courbould's talent for capturing both wit and charm
