EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Toiling a Buck, (1924) - A Captivating Snapshot of Traditional British Deer Hunting". This print titled "Toiling a Buck" takes us back to the early 20th century in Britain, showcasing an intriguing scene from the world of deer hunting. Created by an unknown artist as part of a series called Old Sporting Prints Cigarette Cards, this particular image captures dogs energetically chasing a majestic stag into a net. The photograph pays homage to Samuel Howitt, renowned for his depictions of country life and sporting scenes during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was produced by John Player & Sons in 1924 as one among twenty-five collectible cigarette cards. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness men actively participating in this age-old pursuit amidst the picturesque countryside. The intensity on their faces reflects their dedication to capturing the elusive buck while enjoying their cigarettes – an interesting juxtaposition between leisurely smoking and vigorous hunting. Although the creator remains anonymous, their skillful monochrome composition effectively conveys both the excitement and tradition associated with deer hunting. This vintage print serves as a reminder of our historical connection with wildlife and rural pastimes that were prevalent throughout Britain's history. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector collection today, it offers us insight into how our ancestors engaged with nature while indulging in recreational activities like deer hunting over a century ago.
