EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by Joseph Strutt in 1876, showcases two Saxon archers engaged in hunting activities during the 8th century. The first archer is depicted with a bow and quiver at the ready, while a brace of birds dangles from his belt. His expression suggests focus and determination as he prepares to take aim. The second archer is accompanied by a loyal hunting dog, with a quiver at his side and a bow slung over his shoulder. The dog's alert and attentive posture highlights the close bond between hunter and canine companion. The Saxons, an early Germanic people, were known for their proficiency in archery and hunting. This image provides a glimpse into their pastime and the equipment they used. The intricate details of the archers' clothing, the quiver designs, and the realistic depiction of the hunting dog add to the authenticity of the scene. The lithograph is taken from Strutt's comprehensive work, "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," which aimed to document various aspects of English culture and history. The illuminated manuscript-style presentation further enhances the historical and artistic value of this image.
