Foreign Field Sports: The Bear Triap Aquatint by Dubourg, Merke & Howitt, 1813
About the Item
This print titled "The Bear Trap" illustrates a scene in a dense forest environment. At the center, a bear has been caught in a trap made of branches and a red snare. The bear is shown struggling on the ground, with its expression conveying pain and distress. Another bear is depicted on a higher ledge, looking down at the trapped bear with a concerned and agitated expression. The surrounding foliage and trees provide a lush, green backdrop, enhancing the dramatic tension of the scene. The image is hand-colored, which adds vibrancy and depth to the natural setting and the bears.
Bear trapping historically occurred in many countries, particularly those with significant bear populations and traditions of hunting and trapping. Some of the countries where bear trapping was common include:
1. **United States**: Particularly in the Appalachian region, the Rocky Mountains, and the forests of the Pacific Northwest, where bears were trapped for fur and other resources.
2. **Canada**: In the vast forests and wilderness areas, bear trapping was a part of the fur trade.
3. **Russia**: Especially in Siberia and the Russian Far East, bear trapping was a traditional practice.
4. **Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland)**: Bear trapping was part of the hunting culture in the dense forests of these countries.
5. **Japan**: In the mountainous regions, particularly on the island of Hokkaido, bear trapping was practiced by the indigenous Ainu people.
6. **Eastern European countries**: Including Poland, Romania, and the Carpathian region, where bears are native.
These practices were often part of subsistence activities, fur trade, and later for wildlife management and conservation purposes.

19C Aquatint Engraving of the Quay at Waterford
Located in Dallas, TX
Presenting a lovely 19C Aquatint Engraving of the Quay at Waterford in Waterford city in Ireland.
This engraving has been hand embellished with aquatint color(s) and is from Ireland circa 1820-40.
It features a scene of the Quay or Port of Waterford from circa 1820. We are basing this upon the attire of the figures in the engraving and the tall ships.
It features Reginald’s Tower (still located at the Waterford Quay to this day). Georgian Quay buildings, a number of moored tall ships and row boats, barrels, horses and carts, women and British soldiers.
The engraving was professionally reframed and matted in Dallas in the 1980’s and the rear of the frame says that it was “Museum Mounted and Matted”. The frame has a lovely Grecian pattern around the front.
