Bringing Home the Deer - painted by Bottomley, 1857. 'This characteristic scene is engraved from a drawing made by Mr. Bottomley on a recent visit to the Highlands of Scotland. The locality is the wild and desolate district well known to sportsmen as the Marquis of Breadalbane's Deer Forest of Blackmount. The Artist thus describes the incident: The gralloching being over, a stick was quickly tied to the horns of the hart, and the strong foresters carried off the heavy animal through the stream, over the hills to the point where the pony was waiting to bring the prize home. Following are two fierce-looking hounds, eager again to set upon their prey, but prevented by the Gillie'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
