EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Colins Royal Stag" was created by the talented photographer Horatio Ross in approximately 1856. The image showcases a magnificent stag with its impressive antlers proudly on display. With great attention to detail, Ross captures the essence of this majestic creature, highlighting both its strength and vulnerability. The photograph transports us back to the 19th century Scottish countryside, where hunting was not only a sport but also an integral part of the country's heritage. Through his lens, Ross immortalizes this moment in time when man and nature intersected. The stag itself appears motionless, preserved through taxidermy after being shot. Its lifeless gaze evokes a sense of solemnity and contemplation on themes such as death and mortality. Yet, it also serves as a reminder of Scotland's rich wildlife and natural beauty that captivated artists like Ross during this era. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print is an exquisite example of early photography techniques used in capturing portraits. It stands as a testament to Ross' skillful artistry while providing viewers with a glimpse into Scotland's past. As we admire "Colins Royal Stag" we are reminded of our connection to nature and how it has shaped our history and culture throughout centuries gone by.
