EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 17th-century engraving titled "A keeper choosing out of the herd a fat buck to be shot and run down" we are transported back in time to witness a scene from The Gentlemans Recreation, a renowned publication by Richard Blome. This exquisite print captures the essence of outdoor pursuits for gentlemen during that era. The image showcases a skilled keeper meticulously selecting a robust buck from the herd, preparing for an exhilarating hunt. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, as every stroke brings life to the deer and its surroundings. It serves as both an illustration of leisurely sport and an homage to restoration literature. Hunting was considered not only a blood sport but also an art form, symbolizing strength, skill, and nobility. The park setting adds elegance to the scene while emphasizing man's connection with nature. Richard Blome's work aimed to provide knowledge on various subjects such as arts, sciences, and outdoor pursuits. His compilation served as a guidebook for gentlemen seeking refined entertainment amidst their busy lives. This stunning engraving reminds us of our rich cultural heritage while offering insight into historical pastimes enjoyed by those who appreciated both nature's beauty and the thrill of hunting expeditions.
