Hunting Defended - A Glimpse into 19th Century Rural Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour lithograph, titled "Hunting Defended" offers a fascinating snapshot of rural life in the 19th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist, showcases a man and a woman standing amidst a lush field surrounded by a flock of sheep. Published in Figaro Illustre in February 1898, this print provides us with valuable insights into the fashion, agriculture, and hunting practices of that era. The scene depicts the man and woman donning fashionable attire typical of the time period—elegant hats for both genders and shawls adorning their shoulders. Accompanied by loyal dogs at their side, they exude confidence as hunters defending their livelihoods against potential threats to their livestock. The presence of numerous trees adds depth to the composition while emphasizing humanity's connection with nature. This artistic choice highlights not only botany but also natural history and scientific methods employed in agricultural farming during this period. Through this image, we are transported back to an age when hunting was not merely sport but rather an essential means for protecting one's livelihood. It serves as a reminder that our ancestors relied heavily on such activities for survival—a stark contrast to modern times where hunting is often seen purely as recreational pursuit. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece from the past—an exquisite blend of artistry and historical documentation that sheds light on
