EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling scene of the Pytchley Hunt in action, as viewed from the picturesque village of Harrington in Northamptonshire, England, in 1936. The Midland hunt, one of the oldest in the country, is renowned for its rich history and traditions, and this image beautifully encapsulates the essence of foxhunting in the 1930s. The scene is set in the rolling English countryside, with the verdant fields and hedgerows stretching out before the riders. The hounds, noses to the ground, are hot on the trail of their quarry, their keen senses focused intently on the scent of the fox. The horses, powerful and athletic, leap over hedges and ditches with ease, their riders poised and ready for the chase. The huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red coats and black and tan hounds, cut through the landscape like a living tableau. The hounds bark in unison, their voices carrying across the fields as they close in on their prey. The scene is one of excitement, anticipation, and the raw power of nature. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished rural tradition. It is a reminder of the rich history and culture of the English countryside, and the enduring allure of the sport of foxhunting.
