The Poacher - A Hare in View
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the rural landscapes of 19th century Suffolk, England. Captured by renowned photographer Peter Henry Emerson, this photogravure plate showcases the beauty of East Anglian life during that era. In this image, we see a lone figure standing on a hillside, his gaze fixed away from us towards the horizon. Dressed in traditional country attire, he exudes an air of mystery and intrigue. With his loyal dogs by his side, it becomes evident that he is no ordinary man but rather a poacher—a skilled hunter who ventures into forbidden territories to capture game. The composition expertly captures the essence of regionalism and rustic charm prevalent in British countryside scenes. The rolling hills provide a picturesque backdrop for this clandestine activity. As our eyes wander through the frame, we spot a hare darting across the field—an elusive target for any poacher. Emerson's mastery lies not only in capturing moments frozen in time but also evoking emotions within viewers. Through this photograph, we are transported to an era where hunting was both livelihood and leisure for many rural inhabitants. This rare print serves as a testament to Emerson's skill as well as an important piece of art history preserved at the Art Institute Chicago. It allows us to appreciate not only the technical prowess behind early photography but also provides insights into 19th-century English culture and heritage.
