EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the English countryside and the tradition of foxhunting in the 1930s. The horse, Kilrue, is seen here at Barleythorpe Hall near Oakham, the hunting lodge of Lord Lonsdale when he was Master of the Cottesmore Hunt in Rutland, Leicestershire. Kilrue, an Irish hunter, is beautifully adorned with a saddle and bridle, ready for the chase. In the background, the huntsman and hounds are gathered, their eyes fixed on the horizon, anticipating the sighting of a fox. The scene is set against the backdrop of rolling hills and open fields, the quintessential English landscape. The East Midlands, with its rich hunting heritage, has long been a popular destination for those seeking the thrill of the chase. Lord Lonsdale, an esteemed figure in the world of foxhunting, sits atop Kilrue with an air of confidence and determination. This photograph is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished sport and a symbol of the rural way of life. It is a scene that continues to captivate and inspire, a testament to the enduring allure of the hunt and the beauty of the English countryside.
