EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a traditional foxhunt in the West Country of England during the 1960s. The huntsman, dressed in the distinctive red coat and tall hat, rides proudly on his white horse, leading the way for the hounds as they follow the scent of the fox. The man on foot, also dressed in hunting attire, keeps pace with the hounds, ensuring they stay on the right path. The rolling countryside in the background, dotted with trees and hedgerows, adds to the idyllic scene. Foxhunting has a rich history in the West Country, with the first recorded hunt taking place in the 13th century. The sport, which involves following a fox on horseback and using hounds to chase it, has been a popular pastime among the rural community for centuries. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, capturing the camaraderie, tradition, and passion for hunting that continues to thrive in the West Country.
