EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured aquatint, titled "1st of October, 1827" transports viewers to the picturesque English countryside in the early 19th century. Created by Charles Hunt, a renowned artist from that era, this print measures an impressive 38.4x44.5 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. The scene depicted showcases a rural setting during woodcock season, where hunting enthusiasts gather with their loyal dogs to embark on an exhilarating adventure. The dense forest provides a stunning backdrop as hunters navigate through its wooded paths, armed with shotguns and walking sticks or canes. The winter atmosphere adds an extra layer of charm to this composition; one can almost feel the crispness in the air and hear the crunching sound of leaves underfoot. The attention to detail in capturing both human figures and their canine companions is remarkable – each stroke brings life to these characters engaged in their country pursuit. This evocative image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into history's pastimes and traditions. It serves as a reminder of our connection with nature and how it has long been intertwined with our recreational activities. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate its artistic beauty while acknowledging its historical significance – reminding ourselves that art has always had the power to transport us across time and space.
