It would be a casual walk through the fields and using their dogs, usually setters and pointers, to flush out the partridges from the hedges. Towards the end of the 19th century this rural pass time had transitioned into large (often commercial) shooting events popularised by the landed gentry and royalty. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis two hundred year old etching is in excellent condition with a few marks of foxing.
