EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century engraving from "Almanach de la chasse illustree" 1883, we see a scene of hunting in France. A hunter, accompanied by his loyal dog, has just successfully killed a rabbit with his gun. As a reward for his skillful shot, the hunter treats himself to a well-earned shave of alcohol.
The image captures the essence of the hunt - the thrill of the chase, the satisfaction of a successful kill, and the camaraderie between man and beast. The hunter's expression is one of contentment and pride as he takes a moment to savor his victory with a drink.
However, beneath the surface lies a darker theme - alcoholism. The engraving hints at the potential dangers of using alcohol as a coping mechanism or reward for risky behavior like hunting. It serves as a reminder that moderation is key when indulging in such vices.
Overall, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into life in 19th-century France, where hunting was not just a sport but also an integral part of culture and tradition. It is both visually striking and thought-provoking, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of nature, survival, and human nature.
