EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Poaching on the outskirts of Paris" takes us back to 19th century France, offering a glimpse into the rural life and criminal activities that unfolded in the countryside. The vibrant colours of this lithograph bring to life an illustration originally featured in Le Petit Journal on September 3,1894. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a dense undergrowth where poachers are engaged in their illicit activities. French beaters can be seen cautiously navigating through the wilderness, attempting to flush out game for these cunning criminals. This image serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement during that era. The composition beautifully captures the tension between man and nature as well as society's struggle against crime. It offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon historical issues such as poaching and its impact on local communities. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that it is not just a simple depiction of hunting but rather a portrayal of French culture at large. It sheds light on aspects of rural life often overlooked or romanticized by contemporary society. With its rich historical context and visual appeal, this print from Bridgeman Images invites us to explore and appreciate both artistry and history simultaneously.
