BIRD HUNTING, 1868 - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1868 transports us back to a time when bird hunting was not only a popular sport but also an integral part of American culture. The wood engraving captures a scene in Virginia where rail or sora hunting took place. In the middle of a serene marshland, we see three men clad in traditional hunting attire, standing beside their rowboat. With focused determination on their faces, they prepare for their hunt amidst the picturesque backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains. The hunters are armed with rifles and accompanied by loyal hunting dogs eagerly awaiting their commands. A fire crackles nearby as they strategize and discuss tactics before venturing deeper into the wetlands. This image showcases both the beauty of nature and man's harmonious relationship with it during that era. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors relied on these skills to provide sustenance for themselves and their communities. Preserved through this wood engraving, "BIRD HUNTING, 1868" offers us a glimpse into history—a snapshot frozen in time—allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry behind its creation but also its cultural significance within American society at that period.
