EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, dated 1912, showcases a pack of foxhounds in a moment of unified excitement and anticipation, howling in chorus as they prepare for the hunt. The scene is set against a backdrop of railings and lush greenery, with men in hunting attire standing nearby, ready to mount their horses. The white hounds, with their eager expressions and pointed ears, exude a sense of energy and determination, their bays and barks filling the air. The illustration is taken from the pages of "Cecil, being a treatise on the modern methods of fox hunting, complete with an account of the origin and history of the sport," an influential book on fox hunting written by the English author, Rev. J. Donaldson. The book, first published in 1808, was a popular reference for those interested in the sport and its traditions. The illustration serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the rich history of fox hunting and the role that dogs, particularly foxhounds, played in this centuries-old pursuit. The image is a testament to the deep bond between man and animal, as well as the enduring appeal of the hunt and the thrill of the chase.
