EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the thrill of the hunt is palpable as the Kendal and District Otterhounds and their eager riders gather at Hornby Castle in Bedale, Yorkshire, for an otter hunt in 1932. The stately home, nestled amidst the rolling hills and verdant countryside, provides a picturesque backdrop to the scene. The hunters, dressed in their traditional hunting attire, prepare their hounds for the chase. The otterhounds, with their keen noses and powerful limbs, are a sight to behold as they eagerly await the command to set off in pursuit of their quarry. The riders, poised on horseback, hold their whips at the ready, their faces a mix of excitement and determination. The otter, a sleek and agile creature, is well-known for its elusive nature. However, the skilled hunters of the Kendal and District Otterhounds are no match for the cunning otter. With the hounds hot on its trail, the otter is cornered and eventually captured. The hunters, having successfully completed their hunt, celebrate their victory with a sense of camaraderie and pride. This photograph captures the essence of country life and the traditions of hunting sports in the 1930s. The scenic beauty of the Yorkshire countryside, the grandeur of Hornby Castle, and the thrill of the hunt combine to create a captivating image that transports us back in time. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage of hunting and the strong bond between man and hound.
