1873 – Pheasant in Covert

From the October 4th issue of “The Graphic” in 1873, comes this full page illustration entitled “Pheasant in Covert” to coincide with the beginning of the Pheasant hunting season on Oct 1st. At every opportunity Harrison used his talents to obviate the uselessness of killing birds and wildlife for sport. Not opposed to the taking of animals for food, he was diametrically opposed to the unnecessary suffering of any animal in the name of sport.  This image currently available in A4, A3 and A2 sizing options.
