Park Wall by Lionel Edwards

LIONEL EDWARDS
1878 - 1966
Lionel Edwards was born in Clifton,
the son of a doctor from Chester. A keen hunting man, Lionel Edwards
spent his life combining hunting and painting, and most of his
pictures were worked from many sketches made on the spot. For
six years he illustrated for The Graphic in London.
He then moved to the country and
was able to make a living painting sporting pictures, and at the
same time enjoy plenty of hunting.
Edwards was a great raconteur and
wit, and a tremendous horseman, who hunted with almost every pack
in England.

Recently,
we attended a shoot in South Carolina where the gorgeous shotguns
were almost out-shown by the parade of exquisite automobiles.
|
Then
as we stepped into the Main Lodge, we noticed a simple, but elegant
display by Mr. Allen Mozingo, a Jeweler from Mt. Pleasant, ... near
Charleston, if you happen to be
passing by.
Arrayed on his table was a wonderful
assortment of pins, necklaces, bracelets and even some very handsome
Rolex watches (he is an authorized Rolex dealer).
But what immediately caught our eye
were the original designs of the pins
depicting Pigeons in Flight. A perfect
ÒGuilt GiftÓ for the understanding
Significant Other who patiently indulges
the Passionate Shooter! |
As Mr. Mozingo explained to us, he specializes
in creating original jewelry designs, and also handles Estate jewelry,
as well as a full line of Platinum, 14K and 18K gold jewelry. Any
of the handsome Pigeon pins and pendants I saw would make a beautiful
"memento" of an excellent shoot!
