EDITORS COMMENTS
The Setting Dog and Partridges, from The Gentlemans Recreation published by Richard Blome in 1686 captures a timeless scene of outdoor pursuits for gentlemen. This exquisite engraving, created by an anonymous English artist of the 17th century, showcases the artistry and attention to detail prevalent during that era. The print depicts a picturesque hunting scene where a red setter dog is poised in anticipation, ready to flush out partridges hidden among the lush vegetation. The setting exudes tranquility as the hound carefully navigates through nature's beauty while its master observes with keen interest. Richard Blome's publication was not just an encyclopedia but also served as a guide for gentlemen seeking leisurely activities such as hunting. It provided valuable insights into game birds and techniques for catching them using nets or trained dogs like this elegant setter. This artwork transports us back to a time when hunting was considered both sport and literature-worthy pursuit. It reminds us of the importance placed on outdoor recreation in restoring one's spirit amidst busy lives. As we admire this illustration, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of gentlemanly pursuits throughout history. Whether it be for sport or leisure, these activities continue to captivate men who seek solace in nature's embrace.
