EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to witness a thrilling moose hunting expedition in Nova Scotia. The print, titled "Moose hunting in Nova Scotia" showcases the expertise and bravery of both Indigenous hunters and English settlers as they navigate the snowy wilderness. In this scene, we see an Indian cautiously testing the ice on a frozen stream while creeping towards their majestic prey. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the moment, highlighting not only the anticipation but also the danger that lurks beneath their feet. The central focus of this artwork is undoubtedly a magnificent moose with its impressive antlers proudly displayed. Its regal presence commands attention and reminds us of nature's awe-inspiring beauty. Surrounding this main image are glimpses into camp life during this arduous adventure. A group of men gather around a warm campfire, puffing on pipes as they share stories and camaraderie after a long day's hunt. Their smoke mingles with crisp winter air, creating an ethereal atmosphere that adds depth to this visual narrative. Published in The Graphic on February 18th, 1882, this engraving offers us a window into Canada's rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how humans have relied on it for survival throughout centuries. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate and preserve these remarkable moments captured by talented artists from long ago.
