EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Exercising hounds, Blackheath. 1935" captures a moment of vibrant energy in the midst of an urban landscape. Taken by renowned photographer John Topham during the interwar period, this image transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the 1930s. In this snapshot, we witness a group of foxhounds being taken for their daily exercise through Blackheath Park. The dogs are full of life and enthusiasm as they trot alongside their handlers, showcasing their agility and strength. Despite being surrounded by concrete buildings and city dwellers, these majestic creatures seem right at home amidst the urban chaos. Topham's monochrome composition beautifully contrasts light and shadow, highlighting both the sleek coats of the hounds and the architectural details that frame them. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that even within an urban setting, there is still room for nature's beauty to thrive. "Exercising hounds, Blackheath. 1935" offers a glimpse into a time when hunting was not only considered a sport but also an integral part of rural life in England. It invites us to reflect on how our relationship with animals has evolved over time while reminding us that even in bustling cities like London, pockets of tranquility can be found where humans and animals coexist harmoniously.
