EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1960s in the picturesque West Country, where the tradition of hunting with hounds continues to thrive. In this photograph, two huntsmen, dressed in the distinctive red coats and black and tan hats of the hunt, sit atop their well-groomed horses. Their hounds, ears alert and noses to the ground, surround them in a eagerly anticipatory circle. The rolling hills and lush green fields of the countryside stretch out before them, providing the perfect terrain for this age-old sport. The huntsmen and their hounds, a dedicated group of riders and their loyal canine companions, have been following the scent of a fox, a common quarry in fox hunts. The thrill of the chase, the camaraderie of the hunt, and the connection with nature have drawn these individuals together in this timeless pursuit. Fox hunting, a controversial and divisive sport, has a rich history dating back centuries. Originating in England, it has been a part of the rural landscape and culture for generations. The tradition, which involves following a fox on horseback and eventually cornering it in a confined space, has been the subject of much debate and controversy. However, for those who participate in it, the hunt represents a deep-rooted connection to the land, a sense of community, and a passion for the outdoors. This photograph, taken in the 1960s, captures a moment in time when the hunt was an integral part of rural life. The huntsmen, horses, and hounds in the field embody the spirit of the sport and the enduring bond between man and nature.
