EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Water-Hunting for Deer, a Night Scene on the River Susquehana, Pennsylvania" takes us back to 19th-century America. The scene is set on the tranquil waters of the Susquehana River in Pennsylvania, where a group of hunters embark on an adventurous nocturnal pursuit. In this moonlit night scene, we witness several boats gliding gracefully through the river's gentle currents. The skilled English School artist masterfully captures the serene beauty of this natural setting. The dark silhouette of trees along the riverbank adds an air of mystery and anticipation to the atmosphere. The focus of this artwork lies in water-hunting for deer – a traditional practice that was popular during that era. As our eyes wander across the print, we can spot hunters strategically positioned within their boats, patiently awaiting their prey. With bows drawn and arrows at hand, they navigate stealthily through these calm waters under cover of darkness. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration in The Illustrated London News in April 1857. It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when hunting was not only seen as a means for survival but also as an exciting adventure shared among companions. Through this evocative image captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when nature and man coexisted harmoniously along rivers like Susquehana - reminding us of both our connection with history and our responsibility towards preserving such precious landscapes today.
