EDITORS COMMENTS
In this albumen silver print from the 1850s-1860s, we are transported to a time when hunting was not only a sport but also an art form. The photograph features a remarkable scene of a dead stag suspended in a sling, with none other than Captain Horatio Ross proudly standing beside it. Captain Ross, a distinguished British figure who lived between 1801 and 1886, is known for his passion for hunting and his exceptional marksmanship skills. This image captures the essence of his prowess as he poses next to this magnificent creature that he has successfully hunted down. The composition itself is strikingly dramatic; the lifeless stag hangs gracefully in mid-air while Capt. Ross stands tall and confident by its side. The contrast between the strength exuded by both man and beast creates an intriguing juxtaposition. This print from the Liszt Collection serves as more than just documentation of an impressive hunt; it offers us insight into the cultural significance placed on hunting during that era. It invites us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and how it has evolved over time. As we gaze at this image, we cannot help but marvel at the skill required to capture such detail using early photographic techniques like albumen silver prints. It reminds us of both the beauty found in nature's creatures and our ability as humans to appreciate their magnificence through artistry and photography.
