Tally Ho: A Timeless Tradition of Foxhunting This photograph, dated 1911, transports us back in time to the era of traditional foxhunting. The image features an exquisitely dressed huntsman, poised and ready for the chase, with a magnificent fox trophy head proudly displayed at his side. The huntsman's kit is a testament to the rich history and intricacy of the sport. His boots, adorned with jodhpurs and high leather boots, are secured with a pair of gleaming spurs. A well-worn belt holds a sturdy leather pouch, containing essentials such as cartridges and a hunting knife. A supple leather hunting crop lies across his arm, while a traditional hunting horn rests at his feet. The fox trophy head, with its piercing eyes and sharp teeth, serves as a reminder of the thrill and challenge of the hunt. The huntsman's expression is focused and determined, reflecting the intense concentration required for this ancient pursuit. Foxhunting, a beloved pastime of the British countryside, dates back to the 1500s. The sport, which involves following a fox on horseback, has been the subject of both admiration and controversy. With its rich history, intricate traditions, and stunning imagery, it continues to captivate and inspire. This photograph, with its evocative image of a huntsman and his trophy, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and allure of the foxhunting tradition.
