The Eve of the 12th, the Poachers Opportunity
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to a misty evening in August 1894. The image, created by William Small and now part of a private collection, was originally published in The Graphic magazine. In this atmospheric scene, we find ourselves amidst a cornfield shrouded in foggy cover. As the sun sets on the eve of the twelfth day, poachers seize their opportunity to hunt grouse under the veil of darkness and swirling mist. Their figures are barely discernible as they stealthily move through the field. Small's attention to detail is remarkable; he skillfully captures not only the tension and secrecy surrounding illegal hunting but also highlights meteorological elements such as fog and changing weather conditions. This emphasis on scientific accuracy adds depth to an already compelling narrative. "The Eve of the 12th, the Poachers Opportunity" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a reminder of how art can intertwine with science. It transports us into a world where nature's unpredictability meets human ingenuity, leaving viewers captivated by its beauty while contemplating themes of morality and survival. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Small's talent for storytelling through his meticulous engravings—a true testament to his ability to capture moments frozen in time for generations to come.
