EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1920s, Albert, Duke of York, later King George VI, is seen engaging in a lively conversation with General Henry Sinclair Horne, 1st Baron Horne, at a meet of the esteemed Pytchley Hunt. The Duke, dressed in the traditional tweed suit and riding boots, holds a shooting stick in one hand and a cigarette in the other, while General Horne looks on intently. The Duke's expression suggests a light-hearted moment, as he listens intently to the General's words. The occasion of this meeting was particularly significant, as the Duke was about to receive a special wedding present from the Hunt members. The gift, a set of Henry Thomas Alkens sporting prints, is not visible in the photograph, but the anticipation of receiving it no doubt added to the Duke's good spirits. The Pytchley Hunt, one of the oldest in England, was a beloved institution in the Duke's social circle. Hunting was a cherished pastime for the Duke, and he was known to be an excellent shot and a skilled horseman. The meet at Pytchley would have provided him with an opportunity to enjoy both his love for the outdoors and his passion for hunting. This photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and conversation between two esteemed gentlemen of the time, against the backdrop of a cherished tradition. The Duke's relaxed demeanor and the General's attentiveness create a sense of warmth and connection, making this image a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural fabric of the 1920s.
