Bound Print, LA CHASSE AUX LAPPINS
This is a Bound print. It was designed by Christophe Huet and published by Vanheck and Pierre Roguié and print maker: Louis-Philippe Boitard. It is dated mid- 18th century and we acquired it in 1920. Its medium is etching and engraving on laid paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
A well-equipped monkey with a musket, powder flask, and hunting hound quietly approaches two plump rabbits from behind. In reality, rabbits have a strong flight response so it is unlikely this duo would have been successful in their pursuit.
