VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an illustration from a vintage children's book, depicting three scenes that tell "The Story of the Man that Went Shooting. " The images are accompanied by rhyming verses. In the top left panel, we see a man dressed in traditional hunting attire with a hat and plaid coat, carrying what appears to be an old-fashioned firearm. He seems cheerful about his upcoming adventure as described in the text: "He's going out to have some fun. " Below him, nestled among craggy mountains, a goat looks on with amusement at the hunter's ambitions. The accompanying verse suggests that the goat finds humor in whatever grand plans this man may have. On the right side of the image are two panels showing further developments in this whimsical story. In the upper panel, there is another character—a rooster—standing beside a cannon under what appears to be sunlight personified with human-like features. The rooster seems proud and defiant as it addresses someone off-panel. The lower right panel shows us who he was addressing: our hunter now lies asleep under a tree while his gun leans against it. A small rabbit takes advantage of this moment to hop away with his belongings—the text playfully narrates how everything was taken while he rested unaware. Overall, these illustrations depict a humorous narrative where nature outwits man’s intentions for sport and adventure.
