EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, showcases a group of women in hunting attire from the 15th century. The women are dressed in long, flowing gowns, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, that allow them to blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings. Each woman is armed with a longbow, a quiver of arrows slung across their backs, and a hunting horn at the ready. Their focused expressions and determined postures convey their intense concentration and dedication to the hunt. In the foreground, a man dressed in a red outfit and wearing a hunting horn stands among the women. He appears to be signaling or coordinating their movements, adding an element of camaraderie and teamwork to the scene. The intricate details of the women's dresses and the rich textures of the forest setting are beautifully rendered, making this print a stunning example of 19th century illustration. The illuminated manuscript-style border further enhances the image's antique charm and historical significance. This print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and skill of women hunters during the 15th century.
