The Prince of Wales Pheasant-Shooting at Sandringham, 1893 - A Glimpse into Royal Sporting Traditions
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in history when Prince Albert Edward, the future King Edward VII, indulged in one of his favorite pastimes - pheasant-shooting. Taken on the royal estate in Norfolk, England, this image showcases the prince sitting comfortably on a shooting stick amidst the picturesque countryside. The photograph is part of "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901" published in 1901. It provides us with a fascinating insight into not only the life and accession of King Edward VII but also highlights an important aspect of British heritage - blood sports. Accompanied by his loyal gun dog and surrounded by fellow shooting enthusiasts, including gamekeepers and other men from various walks of life, Prince Albert Edward exudes an air of regal elegance as he takes aim at elusive pheasants. The scene reflects both camaraderie among participants and their shared passion for this popular sport. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder that even those destined to rule have hobbies that connect them to everyday people. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era where hunting was not just about sport but also played a significant role in socializing and bonding within aristocratic circles. As we admire this remarkable photograph captured by an unknown creator over a century ago, we are transported back to an age where tradition met leisure against the backdrop of Sandringham's idyllic landscape.
