EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Cock Shooting" showcases the English countryside and its rich tradition of hunting. The print, part of a private collection, was created by an anonymous English School artist in the late 19th century. The artwork is an illustration for Henry Downes Miles' book "English Country Life" published around 1880. It beautifully captures a scene from rural England during this era. The image depicts a group of hunters engaged in cock shooting, a popular bloodsport at the time. Set against a backdrop of lush green pastures and towering trees, the print exudes tranquility and natural beauty. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element - from the meticulously drawn dogs, including a collie dog prominently featured in the foreground, to the carefully rendered landscape - adds depth and realism to this snapshot of rural life. Not only does this artwork celebrate traditional British hunting practices but it also provides insight into scientific methods employed during that period. The presence of timber suggests that wood served as fuel for fires or building materials within these rustic communities. Overall, this exquisite lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into both historical British culture and natural history. Its timeless appeal makes it an exceptional addition to any art collection or display dedicated to capturing moments from England's vibrant past.
