King Edward VII, known for his love of outdoor pursuits and sporting activities, is captured in this intriguing print taken at Sherborne Estate in 1902. The image showcases the monarch inspecting a bag filled with rows of lifeless game birds, symbolizing the blood sports that were popular during that era. As one of Britain's most influential kings, Edward VII's passion for hunting and shooting was well-known. This photograph offers a glimpse into his leisurely moments as he indulged in these pastimes on the picturesque grounds of Gloucestershire's Sherborne Estate. The black and white composition adds a sense of timelessness to the scene, emphasizing both the solemnity and grandeur surrounding King Edward VII. His presence exudes regal authority as he stands amidst the fallen pheasants, surrounded by men who accompanied him on this shooting party. This image serves as a testament to not only King Edward VII's personal interests but also to an era when such activities were considered prestigious among British royalty.
