EDITORS COMMENTS
- A captivating glimpse into the past, this photograph captures the essence of the aristocratic shooting party held in honor of the Earl of Gainsborough's 60th birthday in 1910. The scene is set at Exton Park in Rutland, where the elite of the time came together for a day of outdoor sporting activities. In the back row, we see Major Hughes Onslow, Mr. Blount, and Mr. Roche Kelly, all dressed in their hunting attire, ready for the day's activities. In the front row, we find Mrs. Gwatkin, Miss Gwatkin, Lady Plowden, Lady Nora Noel, Mr. Gwatkin, Col. Alexander, and Mr. Whitaker Rainworth, all looking on with a mix of amusement and anticipation. At the center of it all is the Earl of Gainsborough, proudly seated with his eldest son and heir, Viscount Campden, by his side. The furred and feathered victims of the day's hunt are also on full display, a stark reminder of the day's purpose. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the wealthy and privileged during the early 20th century. The elegance and grandeur of the shooting party stand in contrast to the simple pleasures of the hunt, a testament to a bygone era. Taken from "The World's Pageant," this photograph is a treasure trove of history, offering a glimpse into the lives of the elite during a time when the pursuit of sport and leisure was a symbol of wealth and status.
