EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving titled "Woodcock Shooting, 1819" by Samuel Howitt takes us back to a time when hunting was not only a sport but also an art form. The print showcases the exhilarating moment of a woodcock being flushed from cover, with a skilled hunter and his trusty springer spaniel in pursuit. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable. Every stroke of the artist's brush brings life to the scene, capturing the intensity and excitement of the hunt. The vibrant colors used in the hand-colouring process add depth and dimension to each element, making it feel as though we are witnessing this thrilling chase firsthand. The composition beautifully balances both human and animal subjects. The hunter stands poised with his firearm at the ready, while his loyal spaniel eagerly anticipates its next move. Their teamwork is evident as they work together harmoniously to track down their prey. This print serves as a testament to our historical connection with nature and our desire for adventure. It reminds us of simpler times when people would venture into the great outdoors for recreation and sustenance alike. Displayed proudly in any collection or gallery space, this exquisite piece invites viewers to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also reflect on our relationship with wildlife and how it has evolved over time.
