EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the 19th of January, 1954. The setting is the picturesque cricket green outside the Cricketers Inn in Meopham, Kent. However, this was no ordinary gathering on that day; it was the much-anticipated meet of the West Kent Hunt and Pony Club. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we notice that horses were not allowed on the green itself. Nevertheless, they stood proudly alongside their riders just beyond its boundaries. The magnificent creatures exude elegance and power as they await their turn to embark on an exhilarating hunt. The derelict windmill looming behind the inn adds a touch of mystique to this scene. It stands tall as a landmark amidst nature's beauty and serves as a reminder of times gone by. This image encapsulates both tradition and camaraderie within its frame. We can almost hear snippets of conversation between riders discussing tactics or sharing stories over pints at the pub nearby. Through Topography's lens, we are transported back to an era where sport brought people together in pursuit of adventure and adrenaline-fueled excitement. This print allows us to witness firsthand how passion for equestrianism united individuals from all walks of life on that fateful day in Meopham - forever etched into history through this remarkable visual testament.
