Tracks and Triggers,
Vanity Fair Portrait, 1909
A Framed chromolithograph by WHO picturing Mr Walter Winans, American marksman, hunter and artist.
Author The Art of Revolver Shooting, Winans owned hunting and shooting rights to 250,000 acres in the Scottish Highlands across Glen Strathfarrar, Glen Cannich and Glen Affric. In 1884 he attempted to prosecute a Scotsman, Muirdoch Macrae, for grazing a lamb on the ancestral lands of Clan McCrae but owned in law by Winans. The failure of Winans' prosecution established the right to roam which was a key element in opening British parklands to the public.
