Picking The Big Stag - A Glimpse into British Sporting Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour lithograph, titled "Picking The Big Stag" takes us back to the early 20th century and offers a window into the rich history of British sporting pursuits. Created by renowned artist Lancelot Speed, this print captures a moment of excitement and skill in the world of deer stalking. Set against a picturesque rural backdrop, we witness a skilled stalker carefully selecting his target – an impressive stag. With great precision and patience, he navigates through the dense forest, showcasing the dedication required for such traditional hunting practices. The image is part of Sporting Pictures edited by E. W. Savory, published around 1902. It serves as both entertainment and education for enthusiasts of outdoor sports during that era. This artwork not only celebrates Britain's love for sport but also highlights its deep connection with nature and wildlife. As we delve into this historical scene, it becomes evident that picking the big stag was not merely about conquest or amusement; it symbolized an age-old pursuit deeply ingrained in British culture. Through these activities, Britons found solace in their natural surroundings while honing their skills as hunters. With its vibrant colours and meticulous attention to detail, this print reminds us of our ancestors' passion for preserving traditions rooted in nature's beauty. As we admire this piece today, let us appreciate how it reflects Great Britain's enduring love affair with both sport and its majestic countryside.
