EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Duck-Shooting at Long Point Island, on Lake Erie" transports us to a bygone era of adventure and camaraderie. Created by Charles Whymper in 1889 for The Illustrated London News, this print captures the essence of a thrilling duck-shooting expedition. The scene unfolds at Long Point Island, nestled on the serene waters of Lake Erie. As dawn breaks over the horizon, hunters gather at the picturesque Long Point Club House, their excitement palpable. Clad in their hunting gear and armed with rifles, they prepare for an early start to maximize their chances of success. The island's rice beds provide ideal cover for both hunters and ducks alike. Decoys are strategically placed in the water to lure unsuspecting birds into range. With skilled marksmanship and patience as their allies, these intrepid sportsmen await their quarry amidst a tranquil lily-covered pool. Amongst them is none other than the esteemed Marquis of Lansdowne himself – a testament to both his passion for hunting and his love for nature's beauty. This gathering exemplifies not only the thrill of sport but also serves as a reminder of our connection with wildlife and our responsibility towards conservation. Whymper's masterful engraving brings this momentous occasion to life with intricate detail and rich textures. It invites us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an age-old tradition that continues to captivate enthusiasts today: duck shooting on Long Point Island.
