EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing historical print, titled "Two Men Capture Mice and Dormice in Traps," dates back to the year 1555 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the pastime of vermin hunting during the Tudor era. The image, captured in exquisite detail, depicts two men dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, each intently focused on their respective traps. The man on the left is carefully examining a mouse trap, his brow furrowed in concentration as he checks for any signs of success. The mouse, unaware of the impending danger, is shown scurrying around in the foreground, oblivious to the man's presence. The man on the right, meanwhile, has already captured a dormouse, a rare and prized catch, as evidenced by the triumphant expression on his face. Dormice, also known as edible dormice or hibernating hedgehogs, were considered a delicacy in medieval Europe and were highly sought after by the nobility. The print, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a unique insight into the hunting and trapping practices of the past. Vermin hunting, including the capture of mice and dormice, was a popular pastime among the nobility and the wealthy, who would often organize hunting parties to showcase their skills and wealth. The print also serves as a reminder of the close relationship between humans and nature during this period, as people relied on the natural world for food, clothing, and entertainment. Overall, "Two Men Capture Mice and Dormice in Traps" is a captivating and intriguing historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the daily lives and pastimes of people during the Tudor era.
