EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Stag at Bay on Exmoor Forest" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a dramatic moment in English history. The engraving, created by an unknown English School artist, showcases a thrilling scene from the world of bloodsports and hunting. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Exmoor Forest in Devon, we witness a majestic stag cornered by a pack of eager dogs. The tension is palpable as the stag valiantly defends itself against its pursuers. Its antlers proudly displayed, it stands firm with an air of defiance. The horses and riders surrounding the scene add to the intensity and spectacle of this ancient tradition. They are mere spectators to nature's raw power unfolding before their eyes. This artwork was originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on September 30th, 1871. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of its creator and society's fascination with such adrenaline-fueled pursuits during that era. Now preserved in a private collection, this print allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate the beauty and complexity of nature's struggle for survival. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, let us reflect upon our relationship with wildlife and how it has evolved over time.
