EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Indian Sketches, 'Pie-Sticking' at Poonah" takes us back to the vibrant world of 19th-century India. Created by John Charlton in 1877, this print showcases a thrilling hunting scene that was originally published in The Graphic. The image transports us to the city of Poonah (now known as Pune), where a group of skilled Indian hunters engage in an exhilarating activity called "pie-sticking". With boars charging towards them, these brave men stand their ground armed with spears, ready to face the challenge head-on. Charlton's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving. The intensity on the faces of both hunters and boars is palpable, capturing the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere of this traditional Indian sport. The composition skillfully balances action and stillness as we witness a split-second moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from our private collection, we are reminded not only of India's rich cultural heritage but also its deep connection with nature and adventure. This print serves as a testament to the bravery and skill possessed by these hunters who partake in such daring pursuits. With its timeless appeal and artistic mastery, "Indian Sketches, 'Pie-Sticking' at Poonah" continues to captivate viewers today just as it did over a century ago.
