Sauhatz / Pig Hunt (colour litho)
8666173 Sauhatz / Pig Hunt (colour litho) by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) (1856-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Sauhatz. Die Hatz auf Schwarzwild, neben dem Elch noch das einzige Uberbleibsel aus der Vorzeit, ist ein uraltes Jagdvergnugen. Schon die Germanen jagten den wilden Eber, und heute, wo Wolfe und Baren in deutschen Forsten kaum mehr anzutreffen sind, ist die Sauhatz neben der Hirschjagd die einzige Jagd auf Grosswild. Im Kampf Mann gegen Tier ist noch die Saufeder (Spiess) im Gebrauch. Translation: Pig Hunt. The hunt for wild boar, the only remnant of the past along with the elk, is an ancient hunting pleasure. The Germans already hunted the wild boar, and today, when wolves and bears are hardly to be found in German forests, the sow hunt is the only hunt for big game besides deer hunting. In the fight between man and beast, the boar feather (spike) is still in use. Illustration for Deutsche Kulturbilder, 1400-1900 (Cigaretten-Bilderdienst Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, 1934).); © Look and Learn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph titled "Sauhatz / Pig Hunt" by Christophe (Colomb, Georges) captures the ancient hunting pleasure of pursuing wild boar. The image depicts a dramatic scene of hunters armed with saufeders (spears) engaging in a fierce battle against the powerful and elusive prey.
Dating back to the time of the Germanic tribes, the tradition of pig hunting has endured through centuries as one of the few remaining opportunities for big game hunting in modern times. With wolves and bears now scarce in German forests, wild boar have become a prized target for skilled hunters seeking an exhilarating challenge.
The artist's attention to detail brings this thrilling hunt to life, showcasing the intensity and skill required to successfully capture such a formidable creature. The dynamic composition and rich colours create a sense of movement and excitement, drawing viewers into the heart-pounding action unfolding before them.
As part of Deutsche Kulturbilder from 1400-1900, this print offers a glimpse into Germany's cultural history and longstanding traditions surrounding hunting practices. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of this enduring pastime that continues to captivate enthusiasts today.
