EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Catching Turtles is Not Quite So Good as Eating Them, but It is Very Good Sport," transports us back in time to the mid-19th century, specifically 1849. The photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into a pastime that was both popular and intriguing – the art of turtle hunting. The scene unfolds on the shores of a tranquil body of water, where a group of men, dressed in Victorian attire, are engrossed in their pursuit of turtles. With their backs to the camera, they are hunched over, their gazes fixed on the water's surface, scanning for any signs of movement. One man, in the foreground, has already succeeded in his endeavor, holding up a large turtle by its hind legs, its shell glistening in the sunlight. The triumphant expression on his face speaks volumes about the thrill of the hunt. Turtle hunting was a common pastime during this era, particularly in regions where these reptiles were abundant. The activity was considered a form of 'sport' and was often seen as a sign of wealth and status. The turtles were typically caught using hooks or by hand, and their meat was considered a delicacy. This photograph, with its candid depiction of the hunters and their quarry, offers a fascinating window into a bygone era and the unique pastimes that defined it. As we marvel at this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of human history and the myriad ways in which we have engaged with the natural world throughout the ages. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the outdoors and the thrill of the chase, be it for sport or sustenance.
