EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two poachers burying a gamekeeper alive after a struggle" depicts a chilling scene of violence and crime in the French countryside. Created by an anonymous artist from the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases the dark side of rural life. In this illustration for Le Petit Journal, published on December 10,1905, we witness two ruthless poachers taking their revenge on a brave gamekeeper. The image captures the horror as they bury him alive in a deep hole, leaving him to his terrifying fate. The struggle between these criminals and the gamekeeper is evident through their intense expressions and physicality. Set against the backdrop of lush green forestry with towering pine and spruce trees, this artwork highlights not only the criminal act but also emphasizes France's rich natural beauty. It serves as a reminder that even within serene woodland landscapes, danger can lurk beneath its tranquil surface. The inclusion of botanical elements hints at scientific methods employed in forestry practices during that era. This adds another layer to the narrative by showcasing how human actions impact both nature and those who protect it. Overall, this powerful image evokes strong emotions while shedding light on an unfortunate reality - where crime intersects with rural life amidst Europe's enchanting forests.
