EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Edgewood Hunt. Ethel McMurray, 1912," showcases the elegant and daring spirit of Ethel McMurray as she rides astride a horse during a fox hunt. The image, created by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, captures the essence of the early 20th century American country life. Ethel McMurray, dressed in traditional hunting attire, dons a fitted tweed jacket, a high-waisted skirt, and a tall, felt hat adorned with a feather. Her riding boots and gloves complete the outfit, while a riding crop rests in her hand. The horse, with its mane flowing in the wind, appears calm and obedient under Ethel's skilled guidance. Fox hunting was a controversial and divisive pastime during this era, with many advocating for animal welfare and opposing the practice. However, it remained a popular leisure activity among the wealthy and aristocratic classes, and the tradition continued to thrive in the United States, particularly in the eastern states. This photograph, part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of early 20th century American society and its traditions. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the great outdoors, the beauty of the horse, and the determination and grace of the rider.
