EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "[Two Stags and Roe Buck], ca. 1858" captures the essence of 19th-century British countryside and its rich heritage of field sports. Created by the talented photographer Horatio Ross, this image takes us back in time to witness a scene that combines both beauty and brutality. Set against the stunning backdrop of Scotland's highlands, two majestic stags and a roe buck lie motionless on a hilltop. Their lifeless bodies serve as a testament to the ancient tradition of deerstalking, an integral part of Scottish culture during this era. The concept of blood sports is depicted here with stark realism. Ross masterfully employs his camera to freeze this moment forever in time, showcasing his skill as both an artist and documentarian. Through his lens, we are transported to a different century, where hunting was not only considered sport but also played an essential role in sustaining rural communities. As we gaze upon this salted paper print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we cannot help but reflect on the delicate balance between man and nature that existed during Victorian times. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to the land and our responsibility towards its inhabitants. Intriguingly composed with impeccable attention to detail, Ross Hartio's work invites us into a world long gone yet preserved through photography—a testament to the enduring power of art in capturing history for generations to come.
