EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hare hiding from hunters in a stand of rushes on an island in a pond" transports us to the serene and mysterious world of nature. The image showcases the remarkable ability of a hare to camouflage itself amidst a dense thicket of rushes, seeking refuge from relentless hunters. The composition captures the essence of survival as we witness this elusive creature finding solace on an isolated island within the tranquil waters of a pond. The delicate play of light and shadow adds depth and intrigue to the scene, highlighting both the vulnerability and resilience of wildlife. Originally inspired by an anecdote shared by French naturalist Jacques du Fouilloux, this handcoloured copperplate engraving is part of Reverend Thomas Smith's renowned collection, "The Naturalists Cabinet". Smith's dedication to documenting animal history through scientific illustration shines through in this exquisite piece.
