Shoot photos from the Edwardian era.

I was born 100 years too late :'(
Cover of the book.

I have scaned some of the text too,as there are very funny stories.

I think these are the Humming-birds Lord Walsingham shot for Natural History Museum in London,here is a photo myself at the Museum.

Wildfowling at Cowbit Wash Spalding 1907

Norwich shoot 1910

West Dean park November 1911

Trirkleby gun room.

Shooting card

King Edward VII counts the lunchtime bag at Sandringham.

Game cart Studley Royal,Yorkshire

Some nice totals.

Head keeper at Warter Priory,with the fruits of victory.

Blenheim Palace.

Fascinating!

Macdonald Hastings writes that the Marquis of Ripon's 500,000 critters were shot prior to his ceasing to keep records in 1913. When did he quit shooting, and when did he die?

Damn! A 'revised and enlarged edition'...!

Looks like I'm going to have to buy that one too!
(My current copy is dated August 1978, rather dog-eared these days!)

That's a great read! I brought that book with me to Argentina, and it went round and round between 12 of us. All of us enjoyed it.
