Hirschjagd. Jagdfrühstück
A hand-coloured German sheet from around 1840 titled Jagdfrühstück and Hirschjagd, pairing hunting scenes with verses printed beneath, likely made for a popular audience of middle-class households. The first picture shows a hunters' breakfast in a clearing with dogs, horses and a rider in a blue coat, while the second shows a stag hunt across a meadow with hounds chasing a deer past a rural cottage, giving a designer bold silhouettes, dense woodland framing and a lively naturalistic palette.
