EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century, titled "A Magnum Bonum" captures a humorous scene of hunting with hounds. The illustration, created by an English School artist, was originally featured in The Comic Annual by Thomas Hood in 1837. In this delightful image, we see a hunter accompanied by his loyal pack of dogs as they embark on a thrilling hunt. The dogs are depicted with great detail and character, showcasing different breeds such as foxhounds, elkhounds, and even a collie dog. Their energy is palpable as they eagerly follow their master's lead. The humor in this artwork lies in the unexpected twist: instead of chasing after prey or guarding their owner's safety, the dogs are fixated on something entirely different - a large bone! They seem to have forgotten about the purpose of their expedition altogether. This comical juxtaposition adds charm and light-heartedness to the scene. The skilled engraver has expertly captured every intricate detail of both human figures and canine companions. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, he brings life to each character on paper. This print serves as not only an amusing depiction but also a testament to the artistry prevalent during the 19th century. It reminds us that even amidst serious pursuits like hunting or state-sponsored activities like bloodsports; there is always room for lightheartedness and laughter.
