EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a nostalgic scene from the early 1900s in Newquay, Cornwall. The image showcases a lively hunt meet outside the historic Commercial Hotel, where riders and their magnificent horses gather in anticipation of an exhilarating adventure. Undoubtedly, this gathering belongs to the prestigious Four Burrow Hunt, as indicated by the distinctive bowler hats adorning some of the riders. The bustling town serves as a picturesque backdrop for this equestrian spectacle. Onlookers line the streets, admiring both horse and rider with awe and admiration. Amongst them is Jewell's Saddler and Harness Maker shopfront, proudly displaying its wares to passersby. Above its window stands P. Buckthought's nameplate, adding an air of authenticity to this charming snapshot. Man's best friend also makes an appearance in this delightful tableau - dogs eagerly join their owners on this hunting expedition, tails wagging with excitement at what lies ahead. Preserved through time by an unknown photographer's lens, this photograph transports us back to a bygone era when hunts were grand occasions that brought communities together. It encapsulates not only the thrill of horseback riding but also reflects upon Cornwall's rich heritage steeped in tradition. Displayed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, this print invites us to marvel at history frozen in time - reminding us of our connection to those who came before us while igniting our imagination about days gone by.
