EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Shooting Grebe on the Lake of Geneva" takes us back to the 19th century in Switzerland. The image showcases a scene of hunting on the picturesque Lake Geneva, captured by an anonymous English artist. The focal point of this print is a Swissman aiming his gun at a graceful grebe gliding across the calm waters. The hunter's intense concentration and steady hand are evident as he prepares for his shot. Surrounding him is the breathtaking beauty of Lake Geneva, with its crystal-clear blue waters stretching towards distant mountains. This artwork was originally published as an illustration in The Illustrated London News on January 29,1870. It offers viewers a glimpse into European hunting traditions during that era, where shooting game was not only considered a sport but also provided sustenance for many communities. As we admire this historical piece, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to different times and places. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in creating such engravings and gain insights into cultural practices long gone. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable print from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at its detailed depiction of life by the stunning shores of Lake Geneva.
