EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pheasant-Hawking" takes us back to the year 1924, a time when hunting was not only a sport but also a way of life. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the scene. The image showcases the artistry and skill involved in pheasant-hawking, where men on horseback are accompanied by their loyal dogs and trained hawks. It is evident that this snapshot captures a moment filled with anticipation as they embark on their hunting expedition through the British countryside. Samuel Howitt's influence is apparent in this work, paying homage to his expertise in depicting sporting scenes. This particular print is part of a series called "Old Sporting Prints Cigarette Cards" produced by John Player & Sons in 1924. The monochrome composition emphasizes the intensity and focus displayed by both man and bird during this exhilarating pursuit. The pheasants take flight while the hawk soars above them, ready to strike at any given moment. The presence of horses adds an element of elegance and speed to the scene. As we delve into history through this collectible cigarette card, we can appreciate how our ancestors found solace in nature's beauty while engaging in age-old traditions such as hunting. This photograph serves as a reminder of our connection with wildlife and how it has shaped our cultural heritage throughout different centuries.
