EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph titled "Setting the bow net" we are transported to a serene natural setting where an age-old hunting technique is being employed. The print, created by Frank Southgate in the late 19th century, captures a moment frozen in time. The scene unfolds near a tranquil body of water, surrounded by lush vegetation that serves as the perfect habitat for various species of wildfowl and waders. A group of skilled hunters can be seen meticulously preparing their bow net, an ingenious contraption used to trap ducks and other waterfowl. As we observe this historic practice through Southgate's artistic lens, we cannot help but appreciate the delicate balance between man and nature. The engraving beautifully conveys both the determination of these hunters and their deep respect for the environment they rely on. Through careful attention to detail, Southgate masterfully renders each element: from the intricate design of the bow net itself to every feathered creature gracefully gliding across the water's surface. This print not only showcases his technical prowess but also serves as a testament to his passion for capturing wildlife scenes with utmost precision. "Setting the bow net" invites us into a world where tradition meets artistry; it reminds us of our connection with nature while simultaneously celebrating human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, let us reflect on our own relationship with wildlife and cherish moments like these that remind us of its timeless beauty.
