EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "German Hunters Hunting Deer Attacked by Doe," is an exquisite illustration from Carl Hoffmann's Book of the World, published in Stuttgart in 1857. The image captures the raw energy and intensity of a deer hunt in rural Germany during the mid-19th century. At the heart of the scene, a group of determined hunters, dressed in traditional German hunting attire, are in pursuit of a majestic stag. The deer, with its impressive antlers and powerful physique, stands proudly in the forest, unaware of the imminent danger. Suddenly, a doe, protective of her fawn hidden nearby, charges at the hunters, defending her young with all her might. The hunters, taken aback by the unexpected attack, react with surprise and determination. One hunter, holding a rifle, aims at the doe, while another tries to fend her off with a hunting stick. The forest, with its dense foliage and towering trees, provides a picturesque backdrop to the scene. This illustration, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, is a testament to the skill of the lithographer and the attention to detail in Hoffmann's Book of the World. The image not only serves as an educational tool, providing insight into the hunting practices of the time, but also as a captivating work of art that transports us to a bygone era. The combination of the hunters' determination, the deer's raw power, and the serene beauty of the forest creates a compelling narrative that resonates with viewers even today. This handcoloured lithograph is a must-have for anyone interested in German history, hunting culture, or simply appreciates the beauty of nature.
