EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Grouse Shooting, 1876" takes us back in time to a bygone era of sport and leisure. The image depicts a scene from an old story published in The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on August 26th, 1876. In the early morning light, we see a group of well-dressed gentlemen gathered at a railway station, eagerly preparing for their day of grouse shooting. They are accompanied by their loyal hunting dogs, ready to assist them in this age-old tradition. The artist Harry Furniss skillfully captures the anticipation and excitement that fills the air as these men embark on their adventure. Their faces reflect determination mixed with joy as they prepare to test their skills against nature's swift game birds. However, behind this seemingly idyllic scene lies controversy. Grouse shooting has long been criticized for its cruelty towards animals. While it was considered a popular pastime among the elite during this period, many questioned its ethics. As evening approaches and shadows lengthen, one cannot help but ponder the fate of those innocent creatures who will fall victim to these hunters' guns before returning home triumphantly to London. This print serves as both a historical document capturing an important moment in time and a reminder of our evolving attitudes towards animal welfare. It invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with nature and consider how traditions can change over time.
