EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a traditional fox hunt in South Devon, circa 1980. The huntsman, proudly mounted on a fine white horse, takes a moment to accept a stirrup cup from a lady, signaling the start of the hunt. Surrounded by the rolling countryside and the eager pack of hounds, the huntsman's focused expression and the prior's attentive posture convey the excitement and anticipation of the pursuit to come. Fox hunting, a time-honored sport steeped in history, has long been a cherished pastime in the English countryside. The huntsman, an essential figure in the hunt, leads the pack of hounds in the pursuit of the elusive fox. The stirrup cup, a traditional drink offered to the huntsman before the hunt, is believed to have originated in the 18th century as a way to warm the rider and steady their nerves before the chase. The image of the huntsman taking the stirrup cup is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the world of fox hunting. The countryside, dotted with hedgerows and picturesque farms, provides the perfect backdrop for this timeless scene. The hounds, with their keen noses and boundless energy, are a testament to the enduring allure of the hunt. As the huntsman and his horse set off, the pack of hounds follows close behind, their bays and howls filling the air with the unmistakable sound of the hunt. The scene is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, one that continues to captivate and inspire those who appreciate the beauty and tradition of the countryside and the thrill of the chase.
