EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lady Ancaster, formerly known as Miss Eloise Breese, is seen in the company of Lord Algernon Gordon-Lennox during a day out with the Cottesmore Hunt in Burley Woods near Oakham, Rutland, England, in the year 1913. Lady Ancaster, an American socialite, had recently married Lord Ancaster, the 6th Earl of Ancaster, in 1911, and this image showcases her elegant and sophisticated appearance as she joins her husband and his brother, Lord Algernon Gordon-Lennox, who was also a prominent figure in British society as the brother of the Duke of Richmond. The Cottesmore Hunt, a traditional English hunting organization, is depicted in full swing in the background of the photograph. Horses and hounds are seen in pursuit of a fox, while the riders, including Lord Algernon and Lady Ancaster, are dressed in their hunting attire, with the latter wearing a stylish hat and a long, flowing coat. The wooded surroundings of Burley Woods provide a picturesque backdrop to the scene, with the sun casting dappled light through the trees. This photograph offers a glimpse into the social and cultural milieu of early 20th century British high society, where hunting was a popular pastime for the aristocracy and their American counterparts. The image of Lady Ancaster, a young and beautiful American woman, embracing the traditions of her husband's country, adds an intriguing layer to the scene. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating window into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era.
