EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a young and dashing Edward, Prince of Wales, engaged in the traditional pastime of shooting a pheasant during the late 19th century. The image, taken in the year 1890, showcases Edward's regal demeanor and impeccable hunting attire, complete with a tweed jacket, plus-fours, and a stylish hat adorned with a feather. The Prince, who would later ascend to the throne as King Edward VII in 1901, is shown taking aim with a double-barreled shotgun, his eyes focused intently on his quarry. His loyal hunting dog, a retriever, stands by his side, alert and attentive. The beautiful English countryside serves as the backdrop to this historical scene, with trees in full autumn foliage and a clear blue sky overhead. Shooting was a popular sport among the British aristocracy during this era, and Edward, as the heir to the throne, was expected to hone his skills in various fields, including hunting. This photograph not only showcases his expertise but also offers a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle and traditions of the British royal family during the late Victorian period. The Prince of Wales' dedication to hunting was well-documented, and he was known for his exceptional horsemanship and marksmanship. This photograph, taken during a private estate shoot, offers an intimate and authentic portrayal of Edward's passion for the sport and his role as a future monarch. This evocative image, captured by an unknown photographer, is a testament to the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy and provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of Edward, Prince of Wales, before he became King Edward VII.
