Big Shots, Edwardian Shooting Parties, First Edition

About the Item

The Big Shots, Edwardian Shooting Parties by Jonathan Garnier Ruffer. London: Debrett's Peerage Ltd., 1977. First edition hardcover with dust jacket. 144 pp. A book on Edwardian shooting parties by Dubrett who was known to be England's authority on etiquette and lineage for over 250 years. Shooting was the sport of large land owners and royalty during the Edwardian age. With the help of the railway and the technical improvements of the gun, shooting became more accessible as did the scale of the carnage. The Prince of Whales, later King Edward VII, had a passion for the sport which made it very fashionable at the time. NPT Books, a division of N.P. Trent Antiques, has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions.
