EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Black Cock Shooting" takes us back to the 19th century when Richard Ansdell's work graced the pages of The Illustrated Times. With incredible attention to detail, Ansdell captures a thrilling moment in time as a hunter prepares to take aim at his target. The print showcases the beauty of nature and the artistry of wildlife illustration. Against a backdrop of rolling hills and dense foliage, we witness an intense scene unfold. A majestic black cock stands proudly on a moss-covered rock, its feathers glistening under the soft light filtering through the trees. Ansdell's masterful technique brings life to every stroke, from the intricate patterns on each feather to the intensity in the hunter's eyes. This artwork not only celebrates nature but also highlights man's connection with it – our desire for adventure and pursuit. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are transported into an era where hunting was not just a sport but also deeply ingrained in society. It serves as a reminder of our complex relationship with wildlife throughout history. Preserved within private collections for years, this remarkable piece is now brought back into public view thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving fine art heritage. Let this engraving spark your imagination and appreciation for both artistic skill and our natural world
