EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the lives of Polish hunters in Volhynia, western Ukraine, back in 1879. The image showcases the proud hunters posing with their impressive catch, showcasing their skills and expertise. Dressed in traditional Polish attire, these horsemen exude an air of confidence as they sit atop their majestic horses. Their elaborate costumes and hats reflect the rich cultural heritage of Poland during the 19th century. The attention to detail is evident even down to their sturdy boots and saddles. The focus of this photograph lies not only on the hunters themselves but also on the animals they have captured. A magnificent horse stands tall beside its rider while a rabbit or hare dangles from one hunter's hand, symbolizing both victory and sustenance. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this engraving-like image, transporting us back to a bygone era where hunting was not just a sport but also an essential part of survival for many communities. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Volodymyr Volynsky's collection, we are reminded of the deep connection between humans and nature throughout history. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' resourcefulness and respect for wildlife while offering us a glimpse into life in rural Ukraine over a century ago.
