EDITORS COMMENTS
. This remarkable photograph, captured by renowned Scottish photographer Horatio Ross in the mid-19th century, transports us back to a time when hunting was not only a sport but an integral part of Scotland's cultural identity. The image showcases a majestic stag lying motionless amidst a picturesque landscape. Ross's expertise in capturing the essence of nature is evident as he skillfully portrays the lifeless deer against the backdrop of a serene stream and lush countryside. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this haunting scene, emphasizing both beauty and mortality. As we contemplate this mesmerizing print, it serves as a poignant reminder of our connection with nature and our own mortality. It invites us to reflect on centuries-old traditions that shaped Scotland's rural communities while acknowledging the inevitable cycle of life and death. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print stands as an enduring testament to Ross's mastery in early photography techniques.

Whether you appreciate artistry or have an affinity for history, "Dead Stag" offers an opportunity to delve into Scotland's past—a captivating glimpse into its landscapes, customs, and reverence for nature—preserved through Horatio Ross’s lens for generations to come.
