EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the picturesque village of Chilham in Kent on a chilly winter day in 1953. The focal point of the image is Ralph, the skilled huntsman to the Wye College Beagles, standing proudly alongside a little girl named Oriel Skeffington. Ralph's expertise in hunting is evident as he exudes confidence and authority while holding onto his loyal pack of beagles. The dogs eagerly await their next adventure under his watchful eye. Oriel, with her innocent charm and curiosity, stands beside him with an expression of awe and admiration. The scene unfolds within the historic square of Chilham, where time seems to have stood still for centuries. Surrounded by quaint cottages adorned with thatched roofs and cobblestone streets lined with ancient trees, it is a perfect backdrop for this timeless moment. This photograph captures not only the essence of rural life but also showcases the strong bond between man and animal. It reminds us of simpler times when hunting was not just a sport but an integral part of countryside traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from TopFoto's collection, we are reminded that history can be preserved through photography - freezing moments like these forever so that future generations may appreciate our rich cultural heritage.
