EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Rabbit hunting, France, 1873" transports us back to the 19th century French countryside. The scene depicts a powerful moment of compassion and resistance against the act of hunting. In this image, we witness a man bravely intervening in an attempt to save a rabbit's life. As the hunter raises his weapon with intent to kill, our protagonist steps forward and seizes the gun from his grasp. With urgency in his voice, he pleads with the hunter: "Oh! sir! Think of his family!". This poignant statement serves as a reminder that every creature has loved ones who depend on them for survival. The artist behind this thought-provoking illustration is Cham (Amedee Count Noah said), known for his satirical drawings. Created as part of "Twelve comic years" in 1873, this particular piece carries an anti-hunting message that challenges societal norms and calls for empathy towards animals. Patrice Cartier skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment through their print reproduction. Through intricate details and masterful technique, they bring forth the emotions felt during this encounter between two individuals locked in conflict over differing views on hunting. This engraving not only showcases artistic prowess but also prompts viewers to reflect upon humanity's relationship with nature and its inhabitants. It stands as a testament to our capacity for compassion and reminds us that even small acts can make a significant impact in preserving life's delicate balance.
