1840 Grouse Harvey Hope Moor Shooting Start
EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Men and Their Dogs Hope to Stir Up Grouse on a Moor, circa 1840 This evocative image, titled 'Two Men Hope their Dogs will Start Up Some Grouse on a Moor,' transports us back in time to the 19th century English countryside. The photograph, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of a traditional grouse shooting scene. The two men in the image, dressed in tweed and waistcoats, stand side by side, their expressions focused and determined. They hold their shotguns at the ready, their eyes scanning the undulating moorland for any sign of game. Their faithful dogs, one with a white coat and the other with a black and tan coat, flank them, ears pricked and alert, eagerly anticipating the scent of grouse. The moorland, dotted with heather and bracken, stretches out before them, a vast expanse of natural beauty that has remained relatively unchanged for centuries. The men's presence, though, is a reminder of the rich history of hunting and shooting that has taken place on these lands for generations. The image, taken circa 1840, offers a glimpse into the past, a time when the pursuit of grouse was a cherished pastime for the landed gentry and a source of livelihood for the local communities. The photograph captures the camaraderie and shared experience of the hunt, as well as the deep connection between man, dog, and nature. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time, immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of the English moorland. We can almost hear the distant barking of the dogs, the rustle of the heather underfoot, and the crisp crack of a shotgun. This photograph is not just a historical record, but a reminder of the enduring allure of the great outdoors and the traditions that have shaped our past.
