Antique Edwardian Sporting Photograph - Gentleman with Shotgun & Gun Dog
A wonderfully evocative late Victorian / Edwardian sporting photograph, depicting a country gentleman standing outdoors with his shotgun and faithful gun dog at his side.
The large sepia photograph captures the quintessential image of rural sporting life at the turn of the 20th century. The gentleman is smartly dressed in jacket, tie and sporting hat, holding a side-by-side shotgun, while his spaniel-type gun dog sits alongside him.
The photograph is presented in its handsome period dark mahogany-coloured wooden frame, with fine carved inner moulding and the original-style wide buff mount. The frame and mount have acquired plenty of genuine age and character, which complements the photograph particularly well.
A highly decorative piece of English country house and sporting history, ideal for a study, library, gun room, country house interior, pub or sporting collection.
