EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Breaking in Pointers and Setters" transports us back to a bygone era of rural scenes and bloodsports. Created by the talented artist George Bouverie Goddard in 1873, this print captures a timeless moment of dog training amidst the picturesque countryside. In this scene, we witness skilled trainers working diligently to break in pointers and setters for hunting purposes. The dogs stand attentively beside their handlers, displaying their innate instincts as they prepare for the thrill of the chase. The bond between man and animal is evident through their synchronized movements and mutual trust. Goddard's intricate attention to detail brings every aspect of this engraving to life – from the texture of the dogs' fur to the expression on each trainer's face. Through his masterful strokes, he manages to convey not only the physicality but also the emotional connection that exists between these hunters and their loyal companions. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of a time when hunting was not just a sport but an essential part of survival. It serves as a poignant reminder that our relationship with animals has evolved over centuries; once relied upon for sustenance, they now often hold cherished positions within our families. "Breaking in Pointers and Setters" stands as both an homage to our shared history with canines and a testament to Goddard's artistic prowess. This print is sure to captivate any viewer who appreciates
