EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Snipe Shooting, 1886" takes us back in time to the rural landscapes of East Anglia. The image, captured by renowned photographers Peter Emerson and Thomas Goodall, showcases their mastery of naturalistic photography. In this snapshot, we find ourselves immersed in the tranquil marshes of England's fen country. A skilled fowler is seen intently focusing on his target with a fowling piece in hand. With great precision and patience, he awaits the perfect moment to strike at these elusive waders known as snipes. The differential between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the hunter's determination against nature's backdrop. The vastness of the marshland stretches far into the distance, creating a sense of solitude within this serene setting. As we gaze upon this vintage print from 1886, it serves as a reminder that hunting was not only an activity but also an art form deeply rooted in English tradition. This photograph captures both the skill required for successful snipe shooting and its significance within rural life during that era. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this historical gem allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of naturalistic photography but also gain insight into our cultural heritage.
