THE SHOOTING FIELD is part of the British heritage. Lord Ripon, the greatest shot who ever lived, said that when we no longer continued to shoot "the England of whom the poets have sung will have ceased to exist." This book tells the story of the London gun trade from the earliest days, and particularly from 1835 through the eyes of a most famous maker, Holland & Holland, and of their customers, their rivals, and their craftsmen.
