EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Wapiti hunting in North America" takes us back to the late 19th century when adventure and exploration were at their peak. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II and published as the cover of the Illustrated London News on November 6,1886, this print showcases a scene filled with excitement and danger. In this Victorian-style artwork, we witness a group of men embarking on an exhilarating wapiti hunt in the vast wilderness of North America. Armed with rifles and guns, they navigate through dense forests teeming with towering trees. The majestic elks, known as wapitis in Native American culture, roam freely amidst this untamed landscape. Woodville's attention to detail brings these wild animals to life; their powerful presence is palpable as they gracefully move through the foliage. This engraving not only captures a thrilling moment but also serves as a testament to man's fascination with nature's wonders during that era. The hand-coloured illustration adds depth and vibrancy to every element portrayed— from the intricate botanical details of each tree branch to the scientific accuracy depicted in wildlife anatomy. It is evident that Woodville meticulously studied his subjects before immortalizing them on paper. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, we are transported back in time—a reminder of our innate connection with both artistry and nature's grandeur.
