What you’re looking at

This is a humorous illustrated sequence depicting hunting scenes with a Scottish-dressed hunter and his dog pursuing rabbits. The page shows a narrative progression: the hunter and dog stalking prey, chasing rabbits through various landscapes (water, fields, terrain), and ending at what appears to be a church or dwelling. The final panel shows the dog at the church entrance while the hunter appears exhausted or defeated. The satire likely plays on the concept of "quarry" — suggesting the hunter's pursuit extends beyond game animals to something else (possibly suggested by the church setting). The "faithful bird-dog" reference is ironic given the rabbits shown. The cartoonist's signature is "W. Tenright." Without additional context, the specific social or political target remains unclear, though it appears to mock either hunting mishaps or obsessive pursuit.
