The Twelfth
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a quintessential scene on the Scottish Moors, beautifully depicted in this lithograph by Lancelot Speed. The artwork, dating back to 1901 and featured in The Sphere magazine, showcases the excitement and tradition surrounding the Glorious Twelfth – the start of grouse shooting season. In this picturesque setting, we witness a group of Edwardian gentlemen dressed in their finest hunting attire. Accompanied by their loyal gillie and well-trained dogs, they eagerly anticipate the thrill of the hunt. Shotguns at hand, they traverse through breathtaking mountains and moorlands adorned with heather. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element contributes to an authentic portrayal of this beloved British pastime. From the majestic antlers adorning one gentleman's hat to fallen birds lying gracefully beside them, it is evident that success has already graced their day. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper appreciation for Scotland's rich natural beauty and cultural heritage. This print transports us into a world where time seems suspended – where camaraderie intertwines with nature's bounty. "The Twelfth" serves as both an homage to traditional game hunting practices and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in Britain's countryside charm. It reminds us that amidst modernity’s relentless march forward, there are timeless traditions worth preserving – ones that connect us deeply with our history and land.
