EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Hunting" takes us back to the picturesque countryside of 18th-century England. Engraved by the talented Robert Pollard in 1784, this artwork captures a moment of respite for a group of hunters and their trusty hounds. Set against a backdrop of lush woodlands and an inviting public house, the scene exudes an air of camaraderie and relaxation. The oval-shaped composition draws our attention to the central figures: a group of huntsmen enjoying some well-deserved rest after a successful day's hunt. A male hunter sits at the forefront, his rifle resting on his shoulder as he engages in conversation with a barmaid serving him drinks. Meanwhile, another hunter entertains himself with games while sipping from his beverage. The presence of game prey such as rabbits hints at their triumphant return from the hunt. Pollard's meticulous engravings bring life to every detail – from the intricate Georgian architecture to the expressions on each character's face. This print not only showcases Pollard's artistic talent but also provides us with an intriguing glimpse into rural English life during this era. Now preserved within a private collection owned by The British Sporting Art Trust, this engraving continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of country pursuits and leisurely moments shared among friends.
