EDITORS COMMENTS
Les varreurs de tortues (engraving) captures a captivating scene from the 19th century, showcasing the intricate artistry of French School. This print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree in 1870-71. The image transports us to the tranquil countryside, where green pastures and a rural landscape provide the backdrop for this intriguing composition. In the foreground, we see a boat accompanied by a tugboat, serving as means of transport in this idyllic setting. As our gaze wanders further into the artwork, we are drawn to a group of hunters engaged in their pursuit. Known as 'varreurs de tortues, ' these individuals were involved in state hunting and bloodsports during that era. The hunt itself is depicted with meticulous detail and precision. France's rich hunting tradition is evident here, highlighting its cultural significance within European history. The engraving beautifully showcases various wildlife animals including turtles or tortoises like matamata - reptiles that were commonly sought after during hunts. Presented in black and white tones, this print exudes timeless elegance while capturing moments from an era long gone by. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of France's rural life and traditions.
