EDITORS COMMENTS
Honour Was Satisfied" is a classic and humorous illustration by the renowned British cartoonist, H.M. Bateman, created in 1936. This print showcases a man on a hunting expedition, determined to bag his quarry for the season. However, his hunting skills leave much to be desired, as he misses every opportunity to hit a Pheasant, Partridge, Woodcock, or Hare. The man's frustration mounts with each missed shot, his face etched with confusion and bafflement. Despite his repeated failures, the man's luck eventually turns when he manages to hit something – a Rabbit, but not from a respectable distance. In fact, the Rabbit disappears from sight as the man's bullet strikes it, leaving him utterly perplexed by his own actions. Bateman's masterful use of humor and wit in this illustration highlights the absurdity of the man's misadventures, making it a delightful addition to any collection. The title "Honour Was Satisfied" adds an intriguing layer to the image, suggesting that the man's pride or honor may have been the only thing he managed to hit during his disastrous hunting trip. This print, with its timeless appeal and amusing narrative, continues to resonate with audiences and remains a testament to H.M. Bateman's remarkable talent as a cartoonist. This illustration, titled "Honour Was Satisfied" by H.M. Bateman, was originally published in 1936. It is part of the extensive collection held by the Estate of H.M. Bateman, Mary Evans Picture Library. The print, with its rich history and enduring humor, is an excellent addition to any art or humor-focused collection.
