EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fierce battle between a red deer stag and an ounce or hunting tiger. The stag, with its majestic antlers, valiantly holds the stalking ounce at bay, showcasing its strength and courage. However, in a surprising turn of events, the cat manages to leap over the net into the crowd, adding an element of excitement to this intense confrontation. The image is based on an anecdote from the Sportsmans Cabinet about a blood sport event organized by the Duke of Cumberland in 18th century Newmarket Heath. It depicts not only the clash between these two powerful creatures but also highlights the thrill and spectacle that surrounded such events during that era. Handcoloured copperplate engraving brings this scene to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. Reverend Thomas Smith's The Naturalists Cabinet provides further context for this historical moment in animal history. This artwork serves as both entertainment and a scientific illustration within zoology. It showcases various wildlife animals engaged in a dramatic battle scene against the backdrop of snowy Corsica. This piece offers viewers a glimpse into European culture while reminding us of our fascination with nature's wonders throughout history.
