EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heron-Hawking" takes us back to the 1920s, a time when horseback hunting was still a popular sport in Britain. The image showcases riders on horseback engaging in the thrilling pursuit of heron with hawks. This particular print is part of a series of 25 Old Sporting Prints Cigarette Cards produced by John Player & Sons. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, but it bears resemblance to the work of Samuel Howitt, an acclaimed artist known for his depictions of British sporting scenes. The monochrome composition beautifully captures the intensity and elegance of both man and beast engaged in this age-old tradition. Intriguingly, cigarette cards were collectible items that came with packs of cigarettes during this era. They often featured various subjects ranging from sports to wildlife, providing entertainment and knowledge for enthusiasts. This specific card offers a glimpse into the countryside pursuits that were cherished by many gentlemen at that time. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where men embraced their connection with nature while indulging in their passions. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich heritage but also how our relationship with wildlife has evolved over centuries.
