EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Stalking" from The Gentlemans Recreation, published by Richard Blome in 1686, takes us back to a time when hunting was considered the ultimate outdoor pursuit for gentlemen. This exquisite engraving, created by an anonymous English artist of the 17th century, showcases a scene of stalking wild fowl. In this picturesque setting, we witness a gentleman fully immersed in his leisurely sport. Armed with his trusty gun and accompanied by his loyal hunting dog, he carefully navigates through the serene waters in search of game. The tranquility of nature is beautifully captured as sunlight dances upon the rippling surface. Blome's publication was not just about hunting; it encompassed a comprehensive Encyclopaedia of the Arts and Sciences as well. However, it is scenes like these that transport us into Restoration literature and illustrate the pursuits favored by gentlemen during that era. This print serves as a window into history—a reminder of how outdoor activities were once cherished pastimes for men seeking both adventure and relaxation. It invites us to appreciate not only the artistry behind such engravings but also their cultural significance within society at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection today, let it serve as an homage to those who found solace and excitement in pursuing wild game amidst nature's splendor centuries ago.
