- Curatorial Notes:
-
- Alongside the taste for the picturesque, the British held a distinct interest in depictions of the domesticated natural world, such as scenes of anglers and horsemen. Both an active sportsman and an artist, Samuel Howitt met that taste. He closely observed nature and stated directly that he wished to convey visual distinctions as to the “the expression, the character and the passions” of each animal. He produced nearly a dozen books on wildlife and sporting.
