EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrill and challenge of fox hunting in the English countryside, as hounds and riders approach the notorious 'Swift' stretch of water in the Atherstone Hunt area of Leicestershire during the 1930s. The Swift, a small but difficult brook, was renowned for its fast-flowing current and deep, treacherous waters, making it a formidable obstacle for both horse and rider. The scene is set against a backdrop of quintessential rural scenery, with tall trees lining the banks and hedgerows crisscrossing the fields. The huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red coats and bowler hats, focus intently on the task at hand, their expressions a mix of determination and anticipation. The hounds, ears pricked and noses to the ground, are poised to leap into the water and give chase. Fox hunting, a traditional British sport with a rich history dating back centuries, was a popular pastime in the East Midlands region of England during the 1930s. The practice, which involves following a fox on horseback and using hounds to chase and eventually kill it, remains a subject of controversy and debate. However, this photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, capturing the raw beauty and excitement of the hunt and the close connection between man and nature. The Swift, with its challenging waters, served as a test of skill and bravery for the riders and their horses, and the successful jump over this obstacle was a source of pride and accomplishment. This photograph, taken in 1936, is a fascinating snapshot of a time when the countryside and rural pursuits held a special allure and appeal, and when the thrill of the chase was a cherished part of the British sporting tradition.
