1967 Chase Hounds Hunt Huntsmen
EDITORS COMMENTS
Fox Hunt, 1967 This evocative photograph captures the thrill and excitement of a traditional fox hunt in full swing. Dating back to the 1500s, fox hunting has long been a cherished pastime in the English countryside, and this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of this ancient sport. The photograph, taken in 1967, depicts a group of dedicated huntsmen and their hounds in pursuit of a fox through the rolling hills and woodlands. The hounds, with their keen senses and powerful lungs, lead the charge, their noses following the scent of the elusive fox through the undergrowth. The huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red coats and tall black boots, follow closely behind, their faces etched with determination and focus. The chase is on, and the tension in the air is palpable. The hounds bark and bay, their voices echoing through the forest as they draw ever closer to their quarry. The huntsmen, with their horns and whips, urge their horses forward, their eyes scanning the terrain for any sign of the fox. The 1960s were a time of great change in Britain, but the tradition of fox hunting remained strong. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the connection between man and nature was still deeply rooted in the fabric of rural life. The scene is one of timeless beauty and tradition, a reminder of the enduring allure of the great outdoors and the thrill of the chase.
