EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1936, showcases the essence of the bond between a man and his otter hound. The image features the Bondsman of the Dumfrieshire Otterhound Kennels, Captain John Bell-Irving, with one of his beloved dogs. The autumnal setting adds a warm and inviting atmosphere to the scene, with the vibrant colors of the leaves contrasting beautifully against the rich, red coat of the otter hound. Captain Bell-Irving, a proud owner and breeder of otter hounds, is depicted in the photograph with a sense of deep connection to his canine companion. The otter hound, a breed known for its exceptional sense of smell and agility, was traditionally used for hunting otters along the shores and riversides. With its keen instincts and strong bond with its handler, the otter hound was an invaluable asset to hunters like Captain Bell-Irving. The photograph captures a moment of tranquility and harmony between man and dog, as they gaze off into the distance, likely in anticipation of a day spent hunting. The image is a testament to the deep bond that can form between a person and their dog, and the timeless tradition of hunting with hounds. This photograph, taken over eighty years ago, remains a beautiful and evocative reminder of the connection between man and nature, and the enduring bond between a hunter and his faithful companion.
