The Glorious Twelfth (12th August) - A Glimpse into Britain's Hunting Tradition
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colored photo print, captured by English Photographer in the early 20th century, transports us to the heart of Great Britain's countryside. The image showcases a group of well-dressed men eagerly embarking on the iconic red grouse shooting season, which commences annually on the revered date of August 12th. Dressed impeccably in tweed jackets and smart three-piece suits, these British gentlemen exude an air of sophistication as they traverse the picturesque hills and moorlands. Each man carries a walking stick with pride, symbolizing their status and love for this age-old blood sport. Accompanying them is a loyal hunting dog, ready to assist in retrieving any game that may be successfully shot during their expedition. The serene nature surrounding them adds to the allure of this historical moment frozen in time. This postcard-worthy scene not only captures a significant aspect of British culture but also serves as a reminder of rural life and its deep connection with nature. It speaks volumes about traditions passed down through generations and highlights the importance placed on preserving such customs. As we admire this remarkable photograph from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its ability to transport us back to an era when hunting was not just a sport but an integral part of British heritage.
