EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the early 15th century Livre de la Chasse by Gaston Phebus, depicting the age-old practice of hunting rabbits with dogs and nets. The intricate details on this vellum manuscript, preserved in the Bibliotheque Mazarine in Paris, France, transport us back to a time when gamekeeping was an essential skill. The image portrays a group of skilled hunters accompanied by their loyal hounds as they embark on a rabbit hunt. With walking sticks in hand, they traverse the picturesque landscape in search of burrows where these elusive creatures dwell. The illuminated manuscript brings to life every aspect of this ancient sport – from the excitement and anticipation felt by both man and dog to the meticulous planning required for success. As we delve into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident that hunting served not only as a means of sustenance but also as an art form deeply rooted in tradition. The artist's attention to detail captures every nuance – from the expressions on each hunter's face to the graceful movement of their canine companions. Through this photo print, we are transported back centuries ago and gain insight into how our ancestors interacted with nature and relied upon their skills for survival. It serves as a reminder that even today, amidst modern advancements, there is much wisdom to be gained from studying our past.
