EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of illustrations from "The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes", specifically from the books "Moor and Marsh" and "Field and Covert". Created by Charles Whymper in 1886, these engravings offer a glimpse into the world of various outdoor activities. In this particular image, we are transported to a serene marshland setting where birds flutter gracefully above. The scene depicts partridge driving, capturing the essence of shooting sports. The artist skillfully captures the excitement as young hunters take aim at their targets on high ground while others navigate through covert vegetation. However, not all is peaceful in this idyllic landscape. An intruder lurks in the shadows - a night poacher seeking to disrupt this harmonious pastime. This unexpected twist adds an element of suspense to the illustration. As we explore further, we can spot other elements such as woodcock hunting, flight shooting, plover breeding grounds, brent geese migration patterns, and even a lone tramp wandering through these picturesque fields. These detailed illustrations serve as both informative references for enthusiasts of outdoor pursuits and beautiful works of art that capture nature's beauty. With its intricate details and historical significance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of sporting traditions captured within "The Badminton Library".
