Lionel Nathan de Rothschild (1882-1942), scion of the famous banking family, is best known today for the creation of the famous Exbury gardens in the New Forest, a 200-acre woodland garden filled with rhododendrons and azaleas, camellias, magnolias and rare specimen trees. He was also a keen pioneer in the early days of motoring, briefly held the world water-speed record and was a fine amateur photographer. This set of three Purdeys was given to him on his birthday and has been in the family ever since, being used first by Lionel's older son Edmund and then by Edmund's sons, Nicholas and Lionel on their family run shoot at Exbury.
