Selections from Seymour - No. 7, Another pigeon, Egad
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the early 19th century. This hand-coloured engraving by an anonymous English School artist showcases a delightful scene set in a walled garden. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the distinguished gentleman standing at the garden gate, holding a shotgun and accompanied by his faithful dog. The caricatured figure depicted here bears an uncanny resemblance to George Washington, America's first President. However, it is important to note that this artwork predates his presidency and was created purely for entertainment purposes. The composition exudes both charm and humor as we witness our protagonist's misfortune with yet another elusive pigeon. With a comical expression on his face, he exclaims "Egad! I'm in Lucks way this morning". It seems luck has not been on his side during this shooting expedition. This enchanting piece invites us into an era where leisurely pursuits like bird hunting were enjoyed within picturesque gardens. The attention to detail in depicting the lush foliage and intricate architecture adds depth to the overall composition. As we delve into this playful narrative captured through expert engraving techniques, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only the joys of outdoor recreation but also appreciating artistry from centuries past.
