Sonntagsjager / Sunday Hunter (colour litho)
8666286 Sonntagsjager / Sunday Hunter (colour litho) by German School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Sonntagsjager. Das edle Weidwerk wurde im Laufe des 19 Jahrh oft von Unberufenen als Sonntagsvergnugen betrieben. Der eitle Spiessburger wollte mit Jagderfolgen am Stammtisch prahlen. So entstand die Witzblattfigur des Sonntagsjagers mit seinem Jagerlatein. Ein Gluck, dass manches flinke Wild diesen Schutzen entging! Heute ist gottlob wieder das Wild und nicht der Jager die Hauptsache. Translation: Sunday Hunter. In the course of the 19th century, the noble pasture work was often operated by unemployed people as a Sunday pleasure. The vain Spiessburger wanted to boast about his hunting successes at the regulars table. This is how the joker figure of the Sunday huntsman with his huntsman's tale came about. Luckily, some nimble game escaped these protectors! Today, thank God, the game and not the hunter is the main thing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph titled "Sonntagsjager / Sunday Hunter" captures the essence of a bygone era when hunting was seen as a leisurely pursuit for the privileged few. In the 19th century, the noble art of hunting often became a mere Sunday pastime for those seeking to impress their peers with tales of their conquests.
The image portrays the comical figure of the Sunday huntsman, adorned in traditional hunting attire and armed with his trusty rifle. His exaggerated gestures and boastful demeanor reflect the vanity and frivolity associated with this recreational activity at that time.
However, amidst all the pomp and circumstance, some clever game managed to evade these amateur hunters, much to their chagrin. The illustration serves as a humorous reminder of how nature has its own way of outsmarting even the most eager sportsmen.
Today, we are fortunate that our focus has shifted back to preserving wildlife rather than glorifying hunters. This artwork is not just a visual delight but also a poignant commentary on changing attitudes towards conservation and respect for nature's beauty. It reminds us that true appreciation lies in observing and protecting wildlife rather than boasting about our exploits in the wild.
