EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shooting, plate 1" takes us back to the rural English countryside in the late 18th century. Engraved by the talented William Woollett in 1769, this fifth state engraving and etching showcases his remarkable skill and attention to detail. The artwork measures 44.5x55.2 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the prestigious Paul Mellon Collection. The image depicts a scene of sport and leisure, with a hunter accompanied by his loyal hound and spaniel. The shooter can be seen meticulously cleaning his shotgun while standing near a picturesque watermill that adds charm to the landscape. This composition beautifully captures both man's connection with nature and their pursuit of outdoor activities. George Stubbs, another renowned artist from that era, created this piece after observing life in rural England. His ability to convey movement through intricate lines gives life to each element within the frame. As we admire this stunning print, we are transported back in time to an era where hunting was not only a pastime but also an integral part of country living. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers us a glimpse into how people once connected with nature through various recreational pursuits.
