These images come from a shoot at Apedale Moor in Yorkshire, which was featured in Country Life Illustrated (19 August 1905). The main shooter is Lord Bolton, a major landowner in this park of Yorkshire. This shoot is notable for using a few Labradors. 1905 was the during the heyday of the flat-coated retriever, so using Labradors was something of a novelty.
