Framed Print of The First of September: An Early Love, 1883. Creator: Eugene Froment
The First of September: An Early Love, 1883. To old-fashioned English sportsmen of the last generation...in the days when a "Joe Manton, " a single or double barrel, with a hammer-lock and "hair-trigger, " was esteemed the ne plus ultra of perfect implements for gentlemanly amusement...the First of September was the great day of the year. Partridge-shooting, as then practised in the agricultural shires, was a leisurely, agreeable, moderately interesting pursuit...The good old gentleman whom our Artist has delineated in the act of caressing "his early love, " while examining it, probably, with a view to cleaning the lock or furbishing the barrel, might tell of many domestic and social experiences, joys and sorrows of family affection, companionships that have long been severed by death or distance, friendships which have been chilled by neglect or unworthy treatment, among the persons with whom he has gone afield in past years, carrying that old gun on his shoulder. Did not he exchange guns with his brother a quarter of a century ago...? Then he thinks of Jack's going away to Ceylon, and how he died there, and - here is a drop of water on the gun-barrel, which must be wiped away; that is all'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
