EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1920s, taken at Easthampstead Park in Berkshire, we find Garth Hunt, a renowned figure in the world of British sport, standing proudly in front of the magnificent residence of Marquess of Downshire. The Marquess of Downshire was the title of the aristocratic head of the Hervey-Bathurst family, who owned and resided at Easthampstead Park. The year was 1927, and Garth Hunt, an accomplished fox hunter, was likely paying a visit to the Marquess, who was known for his own passion for hunting and the sporting life. The stately home, with its grand facade and sprawling grounds, served as the perfect backdrop for this photograph, which captures the essence of the 1920s and the connection between the aristocracy and the sporting world. Garth Hunt, dressed in the traditional attire of a huntsman, complete with jodhpurs, boots, and a tweed jacket, exudes an air of confidence and authority. His posture and gaze suggest a man who is not only at ease in his surroundings but also deeply connected to the land and the traditions that define the British countryside. Easthampstead Park, with its beautiful gardens, lake, and expansive parklands, provided the perfect setting for the pursuit of fox hunting and other country sports. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, one of elegance, tradition, and the pursuit of the great outdoors. The Marquess of Downshire's residence, with its grandeur and history, stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the British countryside and the sporting life that has long been intertwined with it.
