EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1931, we catch a glimpse into the idyllic world of Homestall, the esteemed horse breeding establishment situated in the heart of the Sussex countryside. The image captures J.A. Dewar, the proprietor, standing proudly before his home, surrounded by the lush greenery and tranquil beauty of the English countryside. Dewar, dressed in a smart tweed suit and flat cap, exudes an air of confidence and expertise. He is flanked by two distinguished gentlemen, Wilfred Johnston and the Hon. Sylvia Portman, who have come to inspect the pedigree horses that Homestall is renowned for. Lady Wodehouse, with her elegant attire and regal bearing, adds an air of sophistication to the scene. In the foreground, a well-groomed dog sits obediently by Dewar's side, its keen eyes fixed on the action. The image is a testament to the close bond between man and animal, a bond that was essential in the world of horse breeding and training. The serene atmosphere of Homestall is further emphasized by the absence of modern conveniences, such as cars or telephones, which adds to the sense of a bygone era. The photograph transports us back to the 1930s, a time when the pursuit of country sports and the breeding of fine horses were cherished pastimes of the British aristocracy and gentry. This photograph is a rare and precious glimpse into the world of Homestall, a world that has long since disappeared, but which continues to captivate and inspire us with its timeless charm and elegance.
