1928 Print Blessing Hounds Ceremony Duchess Uzes French Hunting Season XGCB1 SF4 Pacific TheaterThis is an original 1928 sepia halftone print which depicts the rather quirky tradition which the Duchess d'Uzs (18471933) was particularly fond of, the Blessing of the Hounds. This event was considered to officially open the French hunting season. Apparently the dear old lady continued to hunt until she was well into her eighties.
