![[Bear Hunt]](jpegs/38465.jpg)
[Bear Hunt] Chasse à L'Ours
Peint par Carlo Vanloo. Gravé par J.J. Flipart
A Paris chez Jean rue St. Jean de Beauvais No. 32 [c.1773 bit later]
Engraving, platemark 505 x 370mm (19¾ x 14½"). Large margins.
Two bears attacked by numerous dogs and men (mainly on horseback), while another bear is pursued in the background. Engraving after a painting by Carle Van Loo, originally issued as a pair with a 'Tiger Hunt' after Boucher. The paintings were part of a set of nine then at the Surintendance in Versailles, and it appears that the engraver Flipart having obtained permission to reproduce them, originally intended to publish a larger series (see notes to British Museum cataloguing for the latter).

H.B. [Henry Butler] pinxit 1838.
[London: Ackermann & Co., 1841.]
Three lithographs on one sheet, one hand coloured. Sheet 330 x 220mm (13 x 8¾").
Three scenes from Captain Henry Butler's "South African Sketches". Above and below are outline sketches, with a coloured and more detailed centre scene of a mounted European hunter taking a rifle from his ghillie to shoot at antelope, a camp behind. Butler, a graduate of Trinity College Dublin, was posted to South Africa with the 27th or Inniskilling Regiment of Foot. In 1837 and 1838 he travelled to the hunting grounds of the Bontebok Flats (between the Klipplaats and Windvogel Rivers in Eastern Cape Province, about eighty miles north of King William's Town). He returned to England in 1839 and in 1841, the year of publication, he transferred to the 59th Regiment, promoted to Captain. His book appears to have been a vanity publication, accounting for its rarity, containing only the lithographed title, 15 plates and 15 pages of text. His only other publication was an article in the New Monthly Magazine.
