A Day's Pigeon Shooting at Kinsale, Ireland
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the 19th century. This exquisite engraving by an English School artist showcases the thrill and beauty of a traditional Irish pastime. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of Kinsale, a picturesque coastal town known for its maritime heritage. In this print, we witness a group of skilled hunters embarking on their adventure. With fixed determination and anticipation etched on their faces, they row towards their first cave where pigeons await them. The sailing boats elegantly glide through the rising tide as they navigate home. The atmosphere is both pleasant and challenging; foggy weather adds an air of mystery while mist envelops the landscape. As scientific methods were gaining ground during that era, meteorologists would have been intrigued by such atmospheric conditions. Every detail in this artwork tells a story - from the carefully rigged mast to the rowed dingy and anchored smack boat nearby. Even amidst unpredictable predicaments like fog or changing winds, these seasoned hunters remain undeterred in their pursuit. This engraving not only celebrates pigeon shooting but also pays homage to transportation modes prevalent at that time - tugboats ferrying passengers and bank buildings dotting the shoreline. Through "A Day's Pigeon Shooting at Kinsale" we are transported into history – witnessing both nature's challenges and man's resilience in pursuing his passions amidst changing times.
