EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Poachers" created by George Denholm Armour in 1895, we are transported back to a time when the English countryside was fraught with illicit activities. The print showcases a scene of intrigue and danger as two poachers stealthily navigate through the dense underbrush, accompanied by their loyal dogs. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings this clandestine world to life. We can almost feel the tension in the air as these skilled hunters pursue their forbidden prey - rabbits. The men are dressed in rugged attire, blending seamlessly into their natural surroundings, while their well-trained dogs eagerly assist them in sniffing out potential game. Armour's composition skillfully captures both the beauty and menace of poaching. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, he creates an atmosphere that is simultaneously haunting and alluring. As viewers, we find ourselves drawn into this dangerous underworld where man pits his wits against nature's bounty. This remarkable engraving serves as a reminder of a bygone era when survival often depended on one's ability to bend or break the law. It also highlights our enduring fascination with those who dare to live outside societal norms for personal gain. "Poachers" is not just an exquisite piece of art; it is a window into history - a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to reflect upon our own relationship with nature and how far we have come since those days filled with secrecy and adventure.
