EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as the Essex Foxhounds assemble for their meet at Epping Green in Essex, England during the 1930s. The scene is one of timeless tradition and community, as huntsmen and hounds gather in anticipation of the day's hunt. The Essex Foxhounds, one of the oldest and most esteemed hunting packs in England, have a rich history that dates back to the 18th century. The meet, an essential part of the hunting calendar, brings together members of the local gentry, farmers, and villagers, all united in their love for the sport and the camaraderie it fosters. In the photograph, the huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red coats and black velvet collars, stand proudly amongst their hounds. The dogs, a mix of various breeds, are a picture of excitement and eagerness, their noses to the ground, sensing the scent of their quarry. The rolling hills of Epping Forest provide a picturesque backdrop, with the sun casting dappled light through the trees. The Essex Foxhounds Meet at Epping Green was a cherished annual event, a time when the community came together to celebrate tradition, nature, and the bond between man and hound. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a way of life that may have passed, but continues to hold a special place in the hearts of those who experienced it.
