A Poaching Escapade
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the thrilling and clandestine world of 19th-century poachers, as depicted in this engraving by S. T. Dadd. The print showcases a dramatic scene unfolding deep within the dense firwood forest, where a group of daring poachers find themselves unexpectedly encountered by the formidable squire and his vigilant keepers. After an indulgent dinner, these audacious individuals embarked on their risky mission to procure firewood for kindling. Armed with axes and determination, they ventured into the heart of nature's bounty under cover of darkness. However, little did they know that their escapade would soon take an unexpected turn. In this gripping moment frozen in time, we witness the intense encounter between the poachers and Mr. Smith, who represents law and order in these woods. The tension is palpable as both sides assess each other's next move - will it be confrontation or escape? Dadd masterfully captures every detail: from the rugged terrain to the flickering light filtering through towering trees onto anxious faces etched with anticipation. This engraving not only offers a glimpse into a forgotten era but also serves as a reminder of humanity's constant struggle between survival and societal boundaries. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection transports us back to an age when men risked everything for sustenance or adventure amidst nature's untamed beauty. It invites us to ponder our own relationship with wilderness and reflect on how far we have come since those exhilarating days
