EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1960s and experience the thrill of an English foxhunt as depicted in this photograph. The scene unfolds in a lush, green field dotted with golden gorse bushes, as huntsmen in red jackets and tall hats, mounted on horseback, lead their pack of foxhounds. The hounds, ears pricked and noses to the ground, follow the scent of their quarry with unwavering determination. The countryside comes alive with the sounds of hooves pounding the earth and the excited barks of the hounds. The huntsmen, their faces etched with concentration and excitement, expertly guide their horses through the undulating terrain. The red jackets of the huntsmen stand out against the verdant backdrop, adding a pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic landscape. Foxhunting is a centuries-old tradition in the United Kingdom, with its origins dating back to the 15th century. It is a sport that requires a deep understanding of both horses and hounds, as well as a keen sense of the countryside and its inhabitants. The hunt is not about violence towards the fox, but rather a celebration of the natural world and the bond between man and animal. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace and the connection to the land was deeply rooted. It is a snapshot of history, a glimpse into a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished pastime and the countryside was a playground for the privileged few.
