EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print from 1900 showcases Victorian gentlemen engaging in the popular pastime of duck hunting. The frozen river serves as their playground, providing a picturesque backdrop for this sporting pursuit. With guns in hand and accompanied by their loyal dogs, these hunters demonstrate both skill and elegance as they navigate the icy terrain. The artwork is a facsimile of an illustration by Henry Thomas Alken, featured in Memoirs of the Life of the Late John Mytton by Nimrod (Charles James Apperley). It offers a glimpse into the world of high society during this era, where bloodsports like hunting were enjoyed by nobility and socialites alike. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and refinement that was characteristic of British culture at the time. The men's attire reflects their status as members of the upper class, while their surroundings evoke images of rural England with its green pastures and serene countryside. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides insight into historical traditions and leisure activities. It serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over time while offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both artistic beauty and cultural heritage.
