EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1920s and experience the thrill of a foxhunt with these magnificent Foxhounds. In this image from 1926, a pack of red-coated hounds dashes through a covert, their hackles raised in excitement and determination. The hounds, led by their human counterparts in scarlet coats and top hats, are in full pursuit of their quarry, their eyes fixed on the scent of the elusive fox. This illustration, taken from the pages of an early 20th century children's book published by the Aldin Company, offers a glimpse into the rich history of foxhunting, a beloved sport that has captivated generations. Foxhounds, with their powerful legs and keen sense of smell, were bred specifically for this purpose, and their hackles, which are raised when they are aroused or excited, add an unmistakable air of intensity to the scene. As the hounds dashingly run through the covert, their tails held high and their ears pricked forward, it's impossible not to be swept up in their enthusiasm. The crisp autumn leaves crunch underfoot, and the sound of hooves and barking fills the air. This moment, frozen in time, is a testament to the enduring allure of the hunt and the unbreakable bond between man and dog. Whether you're a history buff, an animal lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted illustration, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to a bygone era. So take a moment to savor the scene and let the excitement of the hunt wash over you.
