EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Wild West of England, unharbouring a Stag on Exmoor" takes us back to the untamed beauty of 19th-century England. Created by Samuel John Carter in 1888, this print captures a thrilling moment during a traditional hunting expedition in Devon's rugged Exmoor region. In this scene, we witness the exhilarating chase as hunters and their loyal dogs pursue a majestic stag through the wild terrain. The artist skillfully portrays the energy and excitement of the hunt, with horses galloping at full speed and hounds baying eagerly. The stag stands defiantly against its pursuers, showcasing its strength and grace amidst the chaos.

This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News, allowing readers to experience firsthand the thrill of such hunts from afar. "The Wild West of England" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that sheds light on past traditions. It reminds us of our connection to nature and how humans have interacted with it throughout history.
