EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Shooting" transports us back to the Georgian era, immersing us in a scene of woodland hunters. Engraved by Robert Pollard in 1784, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of nature and human activity. Within a dense forest, we see a group of male hunters taking respite from their pursuit. Seated on fallen logs or leaning against trees, they appear weary yet contented. One man is seen raising a beverage to his lips while another engages in conversation with his companions. The composition's oval shape adds an elegant touch to the rustic setting, framing the scene like a window into this momentary pause during their hunting expedition. The intricate details of each figure's attire highlight the fashion trends prevalent during that period. Pollard's skillful engraving technique brings life to every stroke and shading within this print. From the texture of tree bark to subtle expressions on each hunter's face, one can almost hear whispers carried by gentle breezes through these woods. "Shooting" not only captures an intimate glimpse into Georgian society but also serves as a testament to Pollard's mastery as an artist. This remarkable piece now resides within a private collection under the care of The British Sporting Art Trust – preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
