Dickens was one of the first Field readers. Well, he might have been â he was certainly drinking pals with The Fieldâs first editor. Back in 1853, the magazine was founded for those who loved shooting, fishing, hunting and could sniff out a decent claret at 1,000 paces.
Itâs still like that today. The Field gives its readers the best, whether itâs guns, rods, writing or photography. We like to think itâs like a great party â entertaining, informative and provocative.
And weâd like you to be our guest.
Jonathan Young, THE FIELD Editor
