EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Putting in the Ferret, c1900" by Charles Reid takes us back to a bygone era of rabbit hunting. This snapshot from 1903 captures the essence of this popular sport, where men would venture into the great outdoors armed with guns and accompanied by their faithful ferrets or dogs. The image showcases a picturesque hillside landscape as two men engage in the thrilling pursuit. One man is seen crouching down, carefully placing his ferret into a burrow while holding onto his trusty firearm. The other gentleman stands nearby, observing intently, ready to spring into action at any moment. This photograph not only provides a glimpse into early 20th-century leisure activities but also reflects on the concept of warfare during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even recreational pursuits were influenced by historical events and societal norms. With its monochrome aesthetic, this print evokes nostalgia for an era when nature was both playground and provider. It invites viewers to imagine themselves amidst the rugged beauty of the countryside, experiencing firsthand the thrill of tracking rabbits through fields and forests. Charles Reid's artwork immortalizes a pastime that has evolved over time but remains rooted in our collective history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an age where man and animal coexisted harmoniously in pursuit of adventure and sustenance.
