EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Stagg takeing soyle" captures a scene from the renowned publication "The Gentlemans Recreation" by Richard Blome, dating back to 1686. The image depicts an exhilarating outdoor pursuit for gentlemen - hunting. In this particular moment frozen in time, we witness a majestic stag taking refuge in a river as it attempts to evade its pursuers. The engraving showcases the sheer power and grace of the stag as it elegantly swims through the flowing waters. A pack of loyal hounds can be seen hot on its trail, their determination evident in their relentless chase. This thrilling hunt is not just about sport or leisure; it represents an age-old tradition deeply rooted in history and restoration literature. Richard Blome's comprehensive work aimed to provide gentlemen with both knowledge and entertainment. It consisted of an encyclopedic exploration of arts and sciences alongside treatises on various outdoor pursuits such as hunting. Through this illustration, viewers are transported into a world where men engaged in these noble activities that required skill, strategy, and camaraderie. This remarkable print serves as a testament to our fascination with nature's beauty and man's desire for adventure throughout centuries past. As we admire this piece today, we are reminded of the rich heritage behind such pursuits while appreciating them from an aesthetic standpoint alone.
