EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Sport from the Pigeons Point of View, 1882" takes us back to a bygone era in the 19th century. This engraving captures a unique perspective on clay pigeon shooting before the advent of actual clay pigeons. Created by Priestman Atkinson and featured in Punch, or the London Charivari on January 21,1882, this satirical caricature offers a thought-provoking commentary on sport and mortality. In this scene, we witness a crowd gathered for an intense shooting competition. However, what sets this image apart is its focus on the bird's point of view - specifically that of a pigeon facing imminent death. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between human entertainment and animal suffering. As we delve into this heritage image partnership print collector1 has preserved for us over time, it becomes evident that Atkinson intended to challenge societal norms surrounding sportsmanship and ethics through his work. By depicting birds as victims rather than mere targets, he prompts viewers to question their participation in such activities. This powerful visual concept serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards all living beings while also shedding light on historical perspectives regarding leisure pursuits during the late 19th century. As we reflect upon this intriguing piece captured over a century ago, it encourages us to consider how far society has come in terms of compassion and empathy towards animals participating involuntarily in human endeavors.
