1. Title: "A Royal Chase: Prince of Wales and Raymond de Trafford Clearing a Hedge in the Brigade Chase at Wappenham, 1923" This evocative photograph captures a moment of exhilarating action from the Brigade Chase, an annual hunting event that took place at Wappenham, Northamptonshire, in 1923. At the forefront of the image, we find H.R.H. Prince of Wales, later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor, expertly navigating his horse over a formidable hedge. His focus is unwavering as he leads the chase, his regal bearing and determination evident in every line of his body. Just behind the Prince, a daring and dapper figure emerges: Raymond de Trafford, a renowned member of the infamous Happy Valley set and husband of Alice de Janze. De Trafford's equestrian skills are on full display as he follows closely in the Prince's footsteps, his own horse poised to clear the hedge with grace and agility. The image encapsulates the thrill and camaraderie of the hunt, as well as the elegance and refinement of the pastime, which was a favorite among the British aristocracy of the time. The Brigade Chase was a significant event in the hunting calendar, attracting numerous high-profile attendees, including members of the royal family and other notable figures from the world of politics, society, and sport. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these figures, showcasing their passion for hunting and their mastery of the chase. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, adding an air of tranquility and beauty to the moment. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of the English countryside and the rich history of its traditions, which continue to captivate and inspire generations.
