1840 Fires Pheasant Raised Shooting
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a bygone era in the world of upland game hunting, specifically the sporting pursuit of the noble pheasant. Circa 1840, this photograph, titled "Harv (PHEASANT) - A man fires at a pheasant that his dogs have raised," offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the close bond between man and nature, as well as the relationship between the hunter and his canine companions. The scene unfolds in a picturesque countryside setting, where the golden hues of autumn leaves contrast beautifully with the rich greens of the foliage. The hunter, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, stands tall and determined, his rifle at the ready. His eyes are fixed intently on the flight of the pheasant, which has been flushed from its hiding place by his loyal dogs. The dogs, a mix of Setters and Pointers, are in a state of excited anticipation, their tails wagging and ears alert, as they watch the direction of the bird's escape. The hunter's expression is one of concentration and focus, as he carefully aims his weapon, the smoke from previous shots drifting gently in the air. The pheasant, sensing the danger, takes flight, its wings beating furiously as it attempts to evade the hunter's grasp. The scene is one of both beauty and tension, as the natural world and human instinct collide in a dance as old as time itself. This photograph, with its timeless appeal and intriguing narrative, serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of hunting and the deep connection between man and nature. It is a testament to the enduring allure of the great outdoors and the thrill of the chase, making it a must-have for any collection of vintage hunting images or those with an appreciation for the natural world.
