EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Edward VII (1841-1910), the King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, engaged in his beloved pastime of deer-stalking in the picturesque landscapes of Scotland. Taken in the early 20th century, during one of his many holidays in the Highlands, the King is seen dressed in traditional hunting attire, complete with tweed jacket, plus-fours, and ghillie cap, as he carefully scans the rugged terrain for signs of his quarry. Edward VII was a keen sportsman who found great joy and relaxation in the pursuit of deer. He spent numerous holidays at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and Sandringham House in Norfolk, where he was able to indulge in his passion for hunting. The Scottish Highlands, with their vast expanses of wilderness and abundant game, provided the perfect setting for the King's deer-stalking expeditions. Deer-stalking was not only a recreational activity for Edward VII but also an important aspect of Scottish and British heritage. The tradition of hunting deer had been practiced for centuries, and the King was proud to carry on this noble and historic pastime. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when monarchs and commoners alike enjoyed the simple pleasures of nature and the thrill of the hunt. This photograph is an important historical document, offering a rare glimpse into the personal life of a monarch and the traditions of a bygone era. It is a poignant reminder of the connection between the British monarchy and the land, and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors.
