EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "La peche aux verveux" takes us back to the 19th century French countryside, where rural life and traditional hunting practices thrived. The print showcases a picturesque scene of green pastures and a tranquil lake, surrounded by mountains in the distance. In the foreground, we see a group of men on a boat engaged in the art of fishing using verveux traps. These intricate fishing implements are being set up strategically to trick fish into getting caught. The men work diligently, showcasing their expertise in this age-old practice. The presence of a tugboat nearby suggests that transportation played an essential role in these rural regions during that era. It served as both passenger transport and means for carrying goods across lakes and rivers. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that hunting was not only an activity but also considered a sport during this time. State-sponsored hunts were prevalent among the upper class, with bloodsports being highly regarded. This engraving beautifully captures the essence of rural life in France during the late 19th century. It transports us to a simpler time when nature's bounty provided sustenance and leisure activities for communities living amidst breathtaking landscapes like mountain lakes and fjords. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into history while highlighting elements such as fishing techniques, transportation methods, and even societal norms surrounding hunting practices from that era.
