Glass plate negative (215 x 165 mm) depicting four men posing outside the thatched rustic summer house on the grounds of Dromoland Castle. The man on the far left is formally clad in a three-piece suit. The second man is seated on a chair in plus fours, tweed jacket and flat cap resting a shotgun between his legs and with a gun dog by his side. The third man is standing and similarly attired, his hands wrapped around the barrel of a shotgun with its butt resting on the ground. The fourth man, on the far right, is younger than the other three and roughly dressed, possibly a beater or a picker-up, with a white ferret dangling from his right hand. On the foreground are three large dead rabbits.
