EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1960s, the Master of Foxhounds (MFH) of the South Devon Foxhounds proudly leads his pack of hounds through the picturesque countryside of Devon, England. Dressed in traditional hunting attire, the Master, with a crop in hand, rides at the head of his mounted followers, all clad in red coats and hunter green breeches. The hounds, with their distinctive white and orange markings, trail closely behind, their keen noses focused on the scent of their quarry. The Master's expression is one of intense concentration, as he expertly navigates his horse through the undulating terrain, ensuring the pack stays on the right track. In the distance, a fox, alerted by the commotion, dashes across a field, its red coat a stark contrast against the lush green landscape. This image captures the essence of a time-honored tradition, as the South Devon Foxhounds continue their pursuit of the elusive fox through the rolling hills and woodlands of Devon. The scene is a testament to the enduring appeal of foxhunting as a quintessentially British country sport, with its rich history, camaraderie, and connection to the land. The South Devon Foxhounds, founded in 1833, is one of the oldest and most prestigious foxhound packs in the United Kingdom. The pack, which is still in operation today, is renowned for its exceptional hounds and the expertise of its Masters, who carry on the proud tradition of hunting with hounds in the beautiful and historic county of Devon. This photograph, with its vivid colors and dynamic composition, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of rural life and the enduring allure of the hunt. It is a poignant reminder of the deep connection between man and nature, and the thrill of the chase that has captivated generations of huntsmen and women.
