EDITORS COMMENTS
Seeking Stags Scent: A Medieval Nobleman's Hunt for the Elusive Stag This evocative 14th-century print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to a time when the pursuit of the noble stag was a cherished pastime of the European aristocracy. The image captures the intensity and excitement of the hunt as a nobleman, accompanied by his servant and a trained sniffer-dog, sets out to track down his quarry. Dressed in the finest furs and armor, the nobleman sits atop his horse, his expression focused and determined. His servant, clad in simple clothing, walks ahead on foot, carrying a long hunting staff and a bag for collecting game. The sniffer-dog, a breed specifically bred for its exceptional sense of smell, follows closely behind, its ears pricked and eyes fixed on the ground. The trio moves through the forest, their progress marked by the occasional crunch of leaves underfoot and the sound of twigs snapping. The scent of the stag, a potent mix of musk and damp earth, hangs heavy in the air. The nobleman's keen nose catches a whiff, and he urges his horse forward, spurring it on with a cry. The hunt for the stag was a significant event in the lives of medieval nobles. It was a time for displaying wealth, power, and skill, as well as for bonding with friends and allies. The successful capture of a stag was a source of great pride and prestige, and its meat was a delicacy reserved for the most important feasts. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of hunting in medieval Europe, a time when the pursuit of the elusive stag was a cherished tradition that brought together nobles, servants, and dogs in a shared experience of adventure, excitement, and camaraderie.
