EDITORS COMMENTS
Master of the South Devon Foxhounds: A Timeless Tradition in the English Countryside (circa mid 1960s) This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Master of the South Devon Foxhounds, Andrew Besley, in the midst of a fox hunt in the picturesque English countryside. Dressed in the traditional red coat and black velvet collar, Besley cuts an authoritative figure as he rides his white horse, leading his hounds through the rolling hills and verdant woodlands. The Master of the South Devon Foxhounds is an integral part of the centuries-old tradition of fox hunting in the South West of England. Foxhounds, known for their exceptional scenting abilities, follow the trail of a fox, which is chased by the Master and his hunters on horseback. The thrill of the chase, the camaraderie of the hunt, and the connection with nature are all part of the allure of fox hunting, a pastime that has endured for generations. In this photograph, Besley's intense focus and the determined look in his eyes convey the excitement and anticipation of the hunt. His whip is poised, ready to encourage the hounds as they follow the scent of their quarry. The hounds, in turn, are alert and attentive, their ears pricked and noses to the ground, as they track the fox through the undergrowth. The photograph also serves as a reminder of a bygone era, with its evocation of the 1960s and the distinctive outfits and equipment of the hunters. The image transports us back to a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished pastime, deeply rooted in the rural communities of South Devon and beyond.
