EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Wild duck shooting" takes us back to the 19th century in the West of Ireland. The scene depicts a thrilling hunting expedition where men armed with shotguns and rifles eagerly pursue wild ducks along the riverside. The print, part of a private collection, showcases an exquisite level of detail and skillful artistry. The composition captures the essence of this popular pastime as boats glide gracefully across the water, their occupants intently focused on their targets above. The hunters' determination is palpable as they take aim at the flock of wild ducks soaring through the sky. Their guns poised for action, these skilled marksmen demonstrate both precision and expertise. The picturesque Irish landscape serves as a stunning backdrop to this exhilarating moment in time. Lush greenery surrounds them while a majestic tugboat adds an element of transport to this dynamic scene. Originally published in Illustrated London News on January 30th, 1875, this engraving transports us back to an era when hunting was not only considered sport but also served as a means for sustenance and survival. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bernard Platman's Antiquarian Collection, we are reminded of our connection with nature and our timeless fascination with outdoor pursuits. This print truly encapsulates the beauty and excitement that can be found in man's interaction with wildlife within Ireland's enchanting landscapes.
