Catalogue Note
Major Charles and his wife were keen anglers and falconers. She at one time held the record for a salmon caught in Norway and the Major is shown with a 411b salmon he took from the Frome in 1905. An eccentric lurked behind the Major’s conformist exterior. His chest was tattooed with his coat-of-arms and his back was covered by a large tattooed falcon chasing partridges.
