EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Humours of Grouse Driving" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of English grouse hunting. The scene depicts a group of young sportsmen enjoying their luncheon amidst lush greenery, with jealousy brewing among them. The focal point is undoubtedly the patent portable spiral adjustable shooting seat, an ingenious contraption that hoists one lucky fellow high above the others. This envy-inducing invention seems to have caused quite a stir among the group as they eagerly observe its comfortable occupant. As we delve deeper into this comical illustration, we witness the catastrophe that unfolds when green-eyed monster rears its head. The loose screw on this innovative seat excites both admiration and frustration amongst these avid hunters. Their expressions range from awe to confoundment as they struggle to comprehend how such a simple device can cause so much chaos. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how human nature often succumbs to envy and rivalry even in seemingly innocent pursuits like hunting. The humor lies not only in the misfortune suffered by those left behind but also in our ability to relate to their emotions. With impeccable attention to detail and skillful execution, Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem for us all to enjoy. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to capture timeless aspects of human behavior and emotion.
