EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "La levee du casier" transports us back to the 19th century French countryside. The print, part of a private collection, depicts a scene from the renowned publication "La Chasse Illustree" published by Firmin Didot in 1868-69. In this rural landscape, we see a picturesque river with lush green pastures on either side. A boat and tugboat are anchored nearby, serving as means of transport for passengers in this tranquil setting. The artist skillfully captures the essence of rural life, showcasing the beauty and serenity of nature. The focal point of the engraving is an exciting hunting event known as "state hunting". This bloodsport was popular during that era and often involved aristocrats pursuing game animals such as deer or boar. Here, we witness hunters preparing for their expedition while surrounded by their loyal hounds. As our eyes wander through this detailed illustration, we notice lobsters crawling near the boat's casier (a type of fishing basket). These crustaceans add an unexpected touch to the scene, reminding us that wildlife thrives both on land and in water. Overall, this enchanting print offers a glimpse into France's rich history and cultural traditions. It serves as a testament to the artistic talent prevalent during the 19th century while providing insight into how people lived and enjoyed leisure activities amidst stunning natural landscapes.
