EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing print captures a captivating scene from "The Gentlemans Recreation" a renowned publication by Richard Blome in 1686. The image, an exquisite engraving by an anonymous English School artist, showcases the intensity and thrill of stag hunting during this era. In this dramatic illustration, we witness a majestic stag cornered by hounds in a dense forest. The hunters, gallant gentlemen of their time, have successfully tracked down their prey with precision and skill. The captured stag stands defiantly against its pursuers, displaying both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Blome's work was not merely limited to outdoor pursuits but also encompassed an encyclopedic exploration of arts and sciences. However, it is his treatise on leisure activities for gentlemen that truly shines through in this artwork. It offers us a glimpse into the world of restoration literature where outdoor sports were cherished as essential pastimes for men seeking adventure and camaraderie. As we observe this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of such pursuits throughout history. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to the timeless allure of hunting as well as the literary contributions made by Richard Blome himself.
