Crop Foxhunting Gloves Hunt Huntress Leather Pursuits Skirt Whip Wrap 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a high-born English hunting girl, a regal figure poised atop a throne of finest English leather. Dressed in the traditional attire of the early 1900s, she wears a red jacket, a crisp white blouse, a green wrap, and a pleated skirt, accessorized with a pair of leather gloves and a riding crop carved in bone. Her hat, tilted slightly to the side, completes her elegant ensemble. The young huntress sits confidently in the saddle, her whip at the ready, exuding an air of authority and control. With a joker's hat in hand and a mischievous smile playing on her lips, she engages in casual conversation about the weather with an unseen companion. But beware, for this high-born hunting girl is the queen of all the pack, a force to be reckoned with in the English countryside. This photograph, taken in the 1907, transports us back to an era of aristocratic country pursuits, where the hunt was a cherished tradition and the huntress a symbol of grace, power, and beauty. The image, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, is a testament to the enduring allure of the English hunt and the indomitable spirit of the huntress.
