EDITORS COMMENTS
The First of September, Evening," is a captivating mezzotint print created by British artist William Ward in 1794. This exquisite work of art transports us back to the eighteenth century, inviting us to witness a rustic rural scene unfolding in England. The image depicts a group of men and children gathered around an inn, their faces illuminated by the setting sun. In the foreground, a man in a red coat sits on a horse, his rifle at the ready, while a boy in a blue shirt and a dog by his side look on. A group of men and children are seated at a table outside the pub, engaged in a lively conversation. A rabbit hunt is in progress, as evidenced by the rabbit skin on the ground and the rifles at the ready. The scene is filled with a sense of warmth and camaraderie, as well as a hint of the excitement and danger of the hunt. The use of mezzotint technique adds depth and texture to the print, bringing the figures and animals to life in stunning detail. The warm colors of the sunset and the cooler tones of the evening sky create a beautiful contrast, adding to the overall visual appeal of the print.
