8666250 Bekassinenjagd / Snipe Hunt (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Bekassinenjagd. Neben der Entenjagd ist auch die Jagd auf Bekassinen, eine Schnepfenart (wegen ihres meckernden Gerausches beim Fliegen auch Himmelsziege genannt, eine beliebte Sumpfjagd. Wegen ihres Zickzack-Fluges ist sie schwerer abzuschiessen als die richtige Schnepfe. Hierbei muss der Vorsteh- oder Huhnerhund die Vogel im Versteck aufspuren und die getroffenen apportieren. Translation: Snipe Hunt. In addition to duck hunting, snipe hunting, a species of snipe (also known as the sky goat because of its bleating noise when it flies), is a popular swamp hunt. Because of its zigzag flight, it is harder to shoot than the real snipe track down in the hiding place and retrieve those who have been hit.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant lithograph titled "Bekassinenjagd / Snipe Hunt" by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) captures the excitement and thrill of a traditional swamp hunt. The artwork depicts hunters in pursuit of snipes, a species known for their elusive nature and zigzag flight patterns.
Snipe hunting is not only a popular pastime but also a test of skill and patience. Hunters rely on well-trained dogs to track down the birds hidden in the marshes and retrieve those that have been shot. The challenge lies in anticipating the unpredictable movements of the snipes as they dart through the air.
The artist's attention to detail brings this scene to life, from the lush vegetation surrounding the hunters to the dynamic poses of both man and dog. The colorful palette adds an element of drama to the composition, enhancing the sense of action and movement.
"Bekassinenjagd / Snipe Hunt" is a testament to the rich tradition of hunting as both sport and survival throughout history. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and our ongoing quest for adventure in its many forms.
