Hunting Kangaroos, Australia, 1877
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a dramatic moment in the Australian outback during the 19th century. In this print, we witness an exhilarating scene of hunters on horseback chasing frightened kangaroos through the bush. The image is filled with action as dogs bark relentlessly and mounted men wield whips to guide their horses. However, amidst the chaos, tragedy strikes as one hunter tumbles from his horse. This unexpected incident adds a layer of tension to the already intense atmosphere. The fallen rider lies sprawled on the ground while his companions continue their pursuit. The engraving showcases not only the thrill of hunting but also highlights Australia's unique wildlife. The eucalyptus trees stand tall in the background, symbolizing both beauty and resilience that characterizes this vast country. This monochrome print transports us back to a time when hunting was not just a sport but also necessary for survival in rural Australia. It offers a glimpse into an era where humans coexisted with nature in ways that may seem foreign to us today. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time by "The Print Collector" we are reminded of our ever-evolving relationship with animals and how it has shaped our understanding of conservation and preservation over centuries past and present.
