EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Clever Trick of the Past: Poachers and Their Canine Decoy, Circa 1840" This evocative photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the clandestine world of poaching in the 19th century. Poaching, the illegal hunting or fishing of game, was a common practice in England during this time, particularly in areas where the wealthy owned vast tracts of land for hunting. Poachers, driven by necessity or desire, employed various tactics to evade the gamekeepers and their watchful eyes. In this image, a poacher makes use of an ingenious decoy to distract the gamekeeper's attention from his illicit activities. The decoy, a dog, is cleverly outfitted with a lantern on its head. The lantern, with its flickering light, would draw the gamekeeper's curiosity and focus his attention away from the poacher and his accomplices. The photograph, taken circa 1840, is a testament to the resourcefulness and cunning of the poachers of the time. The use of a dog decoy was a common practice in poaching communities, as dogs were easily trainable and could be made to draw attention away from their human companions. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in its depiction of a poaching tactic but also in the insight it provides into the social and economic conditions of the time. Poaching was a symptom of the class divide and the unequal distribution of resources, with the wealthy landowners and their gamekeepers on one side, and the impoverished poachers on the other. This photograph, with its intriguing story and historical context, serves as a reminder of the past and the clever ways in which people have adapted to their circumstances. It is a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, captured in a single, captivating image.
