EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Rat Hunters" we are transported to the bustling streets of 19th-century Scotland. The artist, David Wilkie, masterfully captures a scene filled with action and purpose. A group of determined rat hunters armed with spades, shovels, and barrels take center stage as they embark on their mission to control the pest problem plaguing the city. Wilkie's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving tool. The expressions on the faces of both adults and children reveal their unwavering commitment to eradicating these vermin from their community. Their dogs eagerly join in the hunt, adding an element of excitement and energy to the composition. The artist pays homage to the prestigious Royal Academy by dedicating this plate from his original diploma picture held in their collection. It serves as a testament to Wilkie's talent and recognition within artistic circles during his time. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative. We witness not only a battle against rats but also a collective effort towards creating a safer environment for all residents. Through Wilkie's artistry, we are reminded that even mundane tasks like rat catching can become heroic endeavors when undertaken with determination and unity. This remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images invites us into history while reminding us that challenges can be overcome through perseverance and collaboration
