Fox Hunting - the Meet at the Crossroads
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and captivating image that transports us back in time to the heart of the English countryside and the thrilling tradition of fox hunting. The photograph, taken by an unidentified photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a lively scene at the meet, the gathering point where huntsmen and their hounds assemble before setting off on a chase. At the center of the image, a group of riders, dressed in the distinctive red coats and tall boots of the hunt, are gathered around a table at an inn or pub. They are deep in conversation, no doubt discussing the day's hunt and sharing a drink to steady their nerves. Horses, some saddled and others not, stand nearby, their breath visible in the crisp morning air. In the background, a pack of hounds bays, their noses to the ground, following the scent of their quarry. A huntsman on horseback, dressed in a distinctive red coat and tall hat, blows his horn to signal the start of the hunt. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills, trees, and a country lane, where a cart approaches from a distant crossroads. The photograph captures the excitement and camaraderie of the hunt, as well as the beauty and tranquility of the rural countryside. It is a snapshot of a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished sport and a way of life for many in the English countryside. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the hunt and the connection between man and horse in the natural world.
