"Bringing Home the Deer" - painted by Bottomley, 1857. This characteristic scene is engraved from a drawing made by Mr. Bottomley on a recent visit to the Highlands of Scotland. The locality is the wild and desolate district well known to sportsmen as the Marquis of Breadalbane's Deer Forest of Blackmount. The Artist thus describes the incident: The gralloching being over, a stick was quickly tied to the horns of the hart, and the strong foresters carried off the heavy animal through the stream, over the hills to the point where the pony was waiting to bring the prize home. Following are two fierce-looking hounds, eager again to set upon their prey, but prevented by the Gillie'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857

Bringing Home the Deer,
EDITORS COMMENTS
painted by Bottomley in 1857, is a captivating and evocative depiction of a traditional hunting scene in the Scottish Highlands. The image, which is believed to have been engraved from a drawing made by the artist during a visit to Marquis of Breadalbane's Deer Forest of Blackmount, presents a raw and authentic portrayal of the region's rugged beauty and the harsh realities of rural life. The painting captures the moment after the gralloching, or the process of dressing and preparing the hunted deer for transport. Two strong foresters are shown carrying the heavy animal through a misty, foggy river, with a pony waiting on the other side to bring the prize home. Two deerhounds, eager to resume their pursuit, are held back by the gillie, or gamekeeper, adding to the sense of anticipation and excitement. The scene is a characteristic representation of the blood sports that were popular in 19th century Britain, and the painting offers a glimpse into the lives of the hunters and their dogs, as well as the rugged terrain and geographical features of the Scottish Highlands. The image is reminiscent of the illustrations that were commonly featured in newspapers and magazines of the time, such as the Illustrated London News, which published this painting in 1857. Overall, "Bringing Home the Deer" is a powerful and evocative work of art that transports the viewer to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives and traditions of rural Scotland in the 19th century.
