EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Shooting Flying" takes us back to the 17th century when outdoor pursuits were a gentleman's way of leisure. Published by Richard Blome in 1686 as part of his renowned work, The Gentlemans Recreation, this engraving captures the essence of game shooting during that era. The image showcases a scene filled with excitement and adventure. A group of gentlemen can be seen engaging in their favorite pastime - hunting birds on a sunny day. Armed with guns and accompanied by well-trained dogs and hounds, they eagerly pursue partridges through the countryside. This artwork not only offers a glimpse into the restoration period but also serves as an illustration of the rich literature surrounding outdoor pursuits for gentlemen at that time. It reminds us of how these activities were valued as both sport and leisure for men seeking respite from their daily lives. As we admire this piece, let us appreciate its historical significance and acknowledge Richard Blome's contribution to documenting such cherished traditions. This print transports us to a bygone era where nature was revered, camaraderie was fostered, and skilled marksmanship was celebrated among gentlemen who found solace in the great outdoors.
