EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "La Couverie" takes us back to the picturesque countryside of rural France. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for the renowned publication La Chasse Illustree in the late 1860s. The scene depicted showcases a serene and idyllic rural landscape, with lush green pastures stretching out as far as the eye can see. In this tranquil setting, we witness a state hunting event taking place, where hunters engage in bloodsports amidst nature's beauty. The focus of the engraving lies on the concept of food supply and breeding. A brood of birds' eggs is prominently displayed at the center, symbolizing agriculture and farming practices that sustain both humans and wildlife alike. Amongst these eggs are those belonging to pheasants such as Crossoptilon auritum and Phasianus colchicus pallasi (commonly known as gold pheasants), adding vibrant splashes of color to this rustic tableau. As we delve into this artwork from Bridgeman Images' extensive collection, it becomes evident that it not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers insights into French history and culture during this period. This print serves as a reminder of our intricate relationship with nature – how we rely on its resources while simultaneously appreciating its inherent beauty.
