EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing a proud and focused Hound of the Meynell Hunt in the heart of the English Midlands during the 1930s. The image, taken in 1936, transports us back to a time when fox hunting was a popular and integral part of the rural British landscape. The hound, with its alert and determined expression, stands at the ready, its white, brown, and black markings stark against the earthy tones of the woodland backdrop. Its keen senses are fully engaged, as the thrill of the chase beckons. The hound's powerful muscles ripple beneath its sleek coat, a testament to the rigorous training and dedication that went into preparing these animals for the hunt. In the foreground, the red fox, cunning and elusive, darts through the undergrowth, oblivious to the impending danger. The hound's handler, dressed in traditional hunting attire, stands nearby, a picture of calm concentration as he assesses the situation and prepares to unleash his hound upon the quarry. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of fox hunting in the East Midlands, a time when the sport was an integral part of the rural community and a source of great pride for those involved. It is a poignant reminder of the deep connection between man and animal, and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
