EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, showcases a collection of medieval hunting scenes drawn from the rich history of England. The central image depicts a brave man in armor, armed with a spear, as he confronts a charging boar from the 14th century. The intensity and determination on his face are palpable, as the wild beast charges towards him, with the help of his loyal hounds and hunting companions, who are poised with lances and horns, ready to assist in the hunt. In the background, a surreal forest landscape unfolds, with its dense foliage and ethereal mist, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The scene to the left transports us back to the 9th century, where men with shovels and dogs are unearthing a fox from its burrow. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the skill and artistry of Strutt's craft, as the hunters and their dogs are depicted with great precision and emotion. The intriguing juxtaposition of these two scenes highlights the diversity and richness of medieval hunting practices, which were not only a means of survival but also a cherished pastime for the nobility. The handcoloured lithograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the lives of our ancestors and their connection to the natural world.
