EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving from 1886 takes us back in time to witness a thrilling moment during duck hunting season. The scene is set on Long Island Sound, where a group of men eagerly embark on their hunting expedition. In this print, we see a rowboat gliding through the calm waters as it carries these adventurous hunters towards their destination. Clad in traditional attire, they are armed with rifles and shotguns, ready to take aim at any passing flock of ducks that dare to cross their path. The late autumn sky is filled with flying ducks forming an impressive flight formation overhead. Their graceful movement creates a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of New England's picturesque landscape. As the hunters approach their lodge located along the shoreline, one can sense both anticipation and camaraderie among them. Perhaps they are sharing stories of past successful hunts or strategizing for what lies ahead. This historic engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects upon the rich tradition of duck hunting prevalent in North America during that era. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how humans have long participated in activities that blend skill, patience, and respect for wildlife.
