EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a serene scene from nature's own gentlemanly recreation. Taken from "The Gentlemans Recreation" published by Richard Blome in 1686, this engraving showcases the majestic deer as they engage in an intriguing ritual. Intriguingly, these male deer are seen rubbing their antlers against trees to remove the velvet covering their newly-acquired antler growth. This act of fraying is not only a natural phenomenon but also a symbol of strength and dominance among these magnificent creatures. Blome's work was a comprehensive compilation that encompassed both an Encyclopaedia of the Arts and Sciences and a treatise on outdoor pursuits for gentlemen. It aimed to provide knowledge and entertainment to those seeking enlightenment about various aspects of life, including the wonders of nature. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when literature celebrated not only human accomplishments but also the beauty found within our natural world. The tranquil park setting provides us with a glimpse into how gentlemen would have enjoyed observing game restoration during their leisure time. Let this enchanting photograph remind us of the importance of preserving our wildlife and appreciating the elegance that lies within every creature roaming our earth.
