EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Squirrel Hunting" we are transported back to the year 1799, where a group of gentlemen engage in an unconventional hunting method. The engraving by Howitt captures a unique moment frozen in time, showcasing the camaraderie and adventurous spirit of these men. Amidst a picturesque landscape, the scene unfolds with great energy and excitement. The group of gentlemen, accompanied by their loyal canine companion, gather around a majestic tree as they prepare for their peculiar hunt. Instead of traditional firearms or traps, they opt for an unorthodox approach - throwing sticks at squirrels perched on branches above. The image portrays both determination and amusement on the faces of these hunters as they aim carefully at their elusive targets. Their coordinated efforts create an atmosphere filled with laughter and friendly competition. Meanwhile, the agile squirrels display remarkable agility as they attempt to evade the incoming projectiles. This artwork not only highlights the thrill of hunting but also offers insight into historical practices that may seem unusual today. It serves as a reminder that human interaction with nature has evolved over time while providing us with an opportunity to reflect upon our relationship with animals. With its detailed engravings and rustic charm, this print from Hulton Archive is sure to captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate historical narratives intertwined with natural beauty.
