Battle between a hawk and weasel, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Battle between a hawk and weasel, 1844.... the weasel saw his danger, and instantly seized the hawk by the head. A severe struggle here ensued, but at last the hawk succeeded in disengaging himself, and got away. Nothing daunted, however, he returned to the conflict as game as at the first, the struggle then recommenced, and very soon after the weasel was seen dragging the dead hawk towards the hedge, when Mr. Compton shot the weasel, and found the hawk, as before described, quite dead, and his head bitten entirely through in several places. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic battle between a hawk and weasel, frozen in time since 1844. The unknown creator of this image skillfully depicts the intense struggle that unfolded before their eyes. As the hawk swooped down upon its prey, little did it know that the weasel was ready to defend itself at any cost. In an unexpected turn of events, the weasel swiftly seized the hawk by its head, initiating a fierce confrontation. Despite desperate attempts to break free, the hawk found itself trapped in a life-or-death struggle. Eventually managing to escape from the grip of its adversary, undeterred and filled with determination, the hawk returned for another round. The relentless clash continued until victory was claimed by neither predator nor prey but rather by human intervention. Mr. Compton bravely intervened as he witnessed the weasel dragging away its defeated opponent towards safety. With one precise shot, he put an end to this extraordinary encounter. Examining this remarkable photograph closely reveals not only nature's raw power but also highlights humanity's fascination with capturing such rare moments on paper during Britain's Victorian era. This engraving from "Illustrated London News" serves as a testament to our enduring curiosity about wildlife and our desire to document these unusual encounters for generations to come.
