EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from January 1912, we are transported back in time to witness the grand spectacle of The Fourburrow Hunt gathered in Boscawen Street, Truro, Cornwall. The scene is alive with an air of excitement and anticipation as both man and beast prepare for a thrilling day of hunting. At the heart of the image stands Mr Aubrey Wallis, the esteemed Master of The Fourburrow Hunt. His commanding presence exudes authority and expertise, capturing the essence of a true huntsman. Surrounding him are his loyal hounds, their sleek bodies glistening under the winter sun. These magnificent creatures epitomize strength and agility, eagerly awaiting their master's command. The horses play an equally vital role in this timeless pursuit. Their muscular frames showcase power and grace as they stand patiently alongside their riders. Adorned with traditional hunting attire, these equestrians embody tradition and heritage while exuding a sense of camaraderie amongst fellow hunters. Photographer Arthur William Jordan has expertly captured this momentous occasion with precision and artistry. Through his lens, he immortalizes not just a mere gathering but also preserves history itself – a testament to Cornwall's rich cultural tapestry. This remarkable photograph serves as a window into our past; it allows us to marvel at centuries-old traditions that have shaped our present-day understanding of sport and community bonding. It reminds us that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, there is immense value in cherishing our roots
