AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating illustrated edition of this singular work that combines Karl Snethlage's naturalist pen with the vigorous art of engraver Charles Hallo, to offer a celebration that is simultaneously scientific, mythic, and aesthetic of the iconic wild animal of European forests.
This book, halfway between a zoological treatise, a hunting story, and a pictorial tribute, explores the wild boar in its biological, behavioral, and symbolic dimensions, placing it within hunting traditions, rural legends, and forest landscapes.
Snethlage's text, precise and evocative, describes the customs, habitats, instincts, and interactions of the animal with humans, while Hallo's illustrations, in etching or lithography, capture the power, nobility, and ruggedness of the wild boar in dynamic and expressive scenes.
