1885 Enjoys Shooting Shoots Sportsman Swan Swans Sweden Wild
EDITORS COMMENTS
Edward, Prince of Wales: A Grand Day of Swan Shooting in Sweden, 1885 This photograph captures Edward, Prince of Wales, also known as Eddy or Bertie, in the midst of an enjoyable day of swan shooting during his travels in Sweden in 1885. As a passionate sportsman, Prince Edward relished the opportunity to engage in the traditional Swedish pastime, which was considered a mark of nobility and a sign of wealth. Dressed in a stylish hunting outfit, complete with a tweed jacket, waistcoat, and plus-fours, the Prince stands confidently in a wooden blind, his trusty double-barreled shotgun at the ready. The serene lake, dotted with elegant swans, reflects the clear blue sky, adding to the idyllic setting. The Prince's expression is focused and determined, as he waits patiently for the perfect moment to take aim. The swans, seemingly unaware of the impending danger, gracefully glide across the water, their refined elegance a stark contrast to the excitement and anticipation on the Prince's face. As the sun begins to set, casting a warm glow over the scene, Prince Edward raises his gun and fires, the sound of the gunshot echoing through the tranquil air. The successful hunt, a testament to his skill and determination, brings a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment to the Prince. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Edward, Prince of Wales, a man of great historical significance. As the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, he was second in line to the British throne and later became the Duke of Windsor. This image not only showcases his love for hunting but also highlights the cultural exchange that took place between European royalty during the late 19th century.
