EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The shooting at height with artificial duck - Image of Epinal" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image, created by French School artist Leonard de Selva, captures a unique moment of hunting humor and caricature. In this scene, we are transported to an idyllic countryside setting where a group of hunters is engaged in their favorite pastime. However, what makes this photograph truly intriguing is the presence of an artificial duck being used as a target for shooting practice. This comical twist adds an element of whimsy to the otherwise serious sport. The engraving technique employed by de Selva beautifully highlights the intricate details and expressions on each hunter's face. Their exaggerated features create a sense of lightheartedness and playfulness that permeates throughout the entire composition. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that de Selva intended to capture not just the act of hunting but also its social aspects. The camaraderie among these individuals is palpable as they come together for a shared passion. "The shooting at height with artificial duck - Image of Epinal" serves as both a visual delight and historical artifact. It reminds us that art has always been able to transcend time, allowing us glimpses into different eras while evoking emotions ranging from amusement to nostalgia.
