1555 Arrow Hunted Hunter Marten Sable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a pivotal moment in the rich history of fur trade during the 16th century. The photograph, titled "Sable & Marten 1555," presents a hunter in the prime of his life, poised and focused, as he takes aim at a pair of elusive and prized fur-bearing animals: a sable and a marten. The hunter, dressed in the fashion of the time, wears a fur-trimmed coat and a conical hat, signifying his status and wealth. His expression is intense, reflecting the challenge of the hunt. In one hand, he holds a longbow, its string taut and ready to release the arrow. In the other, he holds an arrow, its tip dipped in a bright, red liquid, likely poison, to ensure a clean kill. The sable and marten, both with their distinctive, sleek coats, are shown in their natural habitat. The sable, with its bushy tail and pointed ears, is on the alert, while the marten, with its agile and nimble form, is frozen in mid-leap, seemingly oblivious to the impending danger. This image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the historical significance of fur trade during the Renaissance period. The pursuit of sable and marten furs was a symbol of wealth and status, and the hunt was a source of livelihood for many. The image also highlights the skill and determination of the hunter, who risked his life to bring home these valuable pelts. The photograph, with its intricate details and authenticity, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a bygone era, where the hunt was a way of life, and fur was a valuable commodity.
