Image description

illustrates the 'Wild Huntsman' of 1796, a Walter Scott translation of a German folk-style poem by Gottfried Bürger (1747-94). The story is 'Erlkonig' for the Lord's Day Observance Society: the Wildgrave ('Earl Warden of the Forest') hunts on a Sunday and is joined by a good angel trying to dissuade him and a bad one urging him on; he destroys the crops and the flocks of the poor in his quest for the white stag and is just about to plough through a hermitage. The hermit appeals to his better nature for the last time, but he persists and is transformed on the spot into a spirit hunted for all eternity by the Dogs of Hell and the Great Huntsman of the Other Side.
