EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pheasant-Shooting, Right and Left" takes us back in time to the thrilling world of hunting in 19th-century England. Created by Harrison William Weir, a renowned artist of his time, this print captures the essence of a traditional pheasant shoot. In this scene from The Illustrated London News dated October 29,1859, we witness two hunters aiming their guns at a flock of majestic pheasants soaring through the air. The intense concentration on their faces reveals their determination to achieve that perfect shot. Accompanying them are well-trained dogs eagerly awaiting the command to retrieve any fallen birds. The meticulous detail in Weir's engraving allows us to appreciate not only the action but also the picturesque countryside setting. Lush trees frame the scene while distant hills provide an idyllic backdrop for this exhilarating sport. "Pheasant-Shooting, Right and Left" offers a glimpse into a bygone era when hunting was not just about capturing prey but also about camaraderie among fellow sportsmen and appreciation for nature's beauty. It serves as a reminder of our connection with history and how traditions evolve over time. As we admire this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us reflect on our relationship with wildlife and how it has changed throughout history.
