Norfolk Regis Silver Fox Farm Elevage de Renards argentés Ancienne Photo 1931
Vintage press photograph. Caption reads: A young and flourishing british industry. The breeding of silver foxes in great Britain is proving to be quite a succseeful industry, thanks to the demande of fashion which cannot be suppied by nautre unaided. This is one of a series of interesting photographs takens on the Regis Silver Fox Farm established by Mr. J.A P Stuart, a retired official of the Indian Police, in hilly woodland near the Norfolk coast in conditions approximating as nearly as possible to those in wich these beautiful animals live in the wild state.One pair for stock purposes can demand £150, whilst the pelts fetch considerable sums.It is now that the breeding season starts, and in order that the animals shall not be disturbed more than is absolutely necessary Mr.Stuart has constructed a watch tower from which supervision of the farm can be kept.As will be seen in the pictures, silver foxes are in the main fairly tame, if timid although when cubs they are amusing pets.
