EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a moment in time of two men and their loyal dog engaging in the traditional country pursuit of Blackcock (or Black Grouse) Shooting on a vast moorland. The scene, beautifully captured by artist Norah Drummond in 1908, shows the men carefully aiming at the majestic black grouse as their faithful companion stands by ready to retrieve any fallen prey.
However, what makes this image even more poignant is the knowledge that the black grouse is now an endangered species. This serves as a reminder of how our actions can have lasting consequences on the delicate balance of nature.
The attention to detail in this postcard published by Raphael Tuck allows us to truly appreciate the skill and dedication required for such a sport. The rugged beauty of the moorland setting adds to the sense of adventure and tradition associated with shooting pursuits.
As we admire this piece from Peter & Dawn Cope Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, let us reflect on our responsibility to protect and preserve wildlife for future generations to enjoy. May this image serve as a testament to both the thrill of country pursuits and the importance of conservation efforts in safeguarding our natural world.
