This print from the Hulton Archive takes us back to a different era, circa 1855, where we witness the daring act of an illegal game. In this rural setting, a poacher is depicted carrying the spoils of his illicit hunt - several hares and a majestic pheasant. The image is presented in a striking portrait format that truly captures the essence of this moment. The male figure stands tall and proud, showcasing his skills as he carries the carcasses with ease. Beside him stands a female companion, her presence adding an intriguing element to the composition. It leaves us wondering about their relationship and perhaps even her involvement in this forbidden activity. A sign nearby hints at potential consequences for such actions - "law" "robb" and "poaching" are visible words that speak volumes about the risks involved in their chosen occupation. A loyal dog accompanies them on this venture, highlighting its role as both accomplice and protector.

This original photograph has been expertly preserved by Fine Art Storehouse, allowing viewers to appreciate every intricate detail captured over 150 years ago. In summary, Hulton Archive's remarkable print offers us a glimpse into history through its portrayal of an illegal game hunt. With its compelling composition and rich colors, it serves as both a visual delight and thought-provoking piece that invites contemplation on human
