EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'The Meet, Leicestershire, 1820' from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of grand social scenes and exhilarating country pursuits. The photograph showcases the preparations for a traditional fox hunt in Leicestershire, England, during the early 19th century. The huntsmen, dressed in their iconic red coats and tall black hats, gather around their horses, adjusting their gear and exchanging last-minute words of encouragement. Their faces reflect a mix of anticipation and determination, as they prepare to embark on the chase. The hounds, eager and alert, sit obediently by their handlers, their noses twitching in the crisp morning air. The scene is set against the backdrop of a picturesque English countryside, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and a clear blue sky. The covers, or the group of huntsmen who gather to initiate the hunt, form a tight circle, creating a sense of unity and camaraderie among the participants. Fox hunting was a popular pastime among the British aristocracy and gentry during this period, and the meet was an essential part of the hunt. It was a social occasion where friends and acquaintances would gather to enjoy the thrill of the chase and the beauty of the countryside. This photograph is a stunning reminder of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of rural England. It captures the essence of a time when the pursuit of the fox was not just a sport but a cherished social custom, bringing people together in the shared excitement of the hunt.
