EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the start of the grouse shooting season in 19th century England. The scene depicts a group of hunters eagerly preparing for the Glorious Twelfth, a traditional event that marks the beginning of this popular sport. With their rifles at the ready and loyal hunting dogs by their side, these men are poised to embark on an exciting day in the countryside.
The intricate details in this print transport us back to a time when hunting was not just a pastime, but a way of life for many Britons. The lush landscape and rolling hills in the background set the perfect stage for an exhilarating hunt, while the expressions on the faces of both man and dog convey a sense of anticipation and excitement.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of a bygone era when nature was revered and respected, and traditions like grouse shooting were celebrated with great fervor. This engraving serves as a window into a world where man's connection to nature was strong, and where camaraderie among fellow hunters was cherished.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of an event; it is also a reflection of cultural values and practices that have shaped British society for centuries.
