EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this timeless photograph, taken by Alfieri in 1924, we are transported back to a bygone era where tradition and elegance reigned supreme. The image showcases the grandeur of the opening meet of the Cotswold hunt at Hawling Manor, a gathering that was eagerly anticipated by both participants and spectators alike. At the center of attention stands Captain Colville, resplendent in his top hat, exuding authority as he assumes his role as master for this prestigious event. Surrounding him are fellow riders, men and women alike, mounted on their majestic horses. Their attire reflects an unwavering commitment to style even amidst such rugged pursuits. The atmosphere is palpable with excitement as these individuals prepare to embark on their exhilarating adventure through picturesque countryside. It is evident that they share a deep passion for hunting; their steely determination mirrored in their eyes. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to enduring traditions that have stood strong throughout history. It reminds us of an era when horseback riding was more than just a sport; it was an expression of nobility and camaraderie. Alfieri's skillful use of monochrome enhances the nostalgic aura surrounding this scene while allowing us to focus on every intricate detail - from the fine craftsmanship displayed in each rider's attire to the undeniable bond between man and horse.
