EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the landed gentry at the Fox Meet of the Berkeley Hounds in Eastington, Gloucestershire, England during the 1930s. The scene unfolds at a quintessential English countryside location, where the rolling hills and verdant greenery provide a picturesque backdrop for the traditional hunting event. The image showcases a group of well-dressed men and women, all gathered around horses and hounds, in the midst of the excitement and anticipation of the hunt. The men, clad in tweed jackets, jodhpurs, and boots, are seen adjusting their hunting gear, while the women, elegantly dressed in long coats, hats, and gloves, watch the proceedings with keen interest. The Berkeley Hounds, a renowned pack of foxhounds, are seen in the foreground, their keen noses alert and their ears pricked, ready to follow the scent of their quarry. The hounds' handlers, dressed in red coats and white breeches, stand nearby, ensuring that their charges are ready for the chase. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the landed gentry and their traditions held a prominent place in English society. The Fox Meet of the Berkeley Hounds was not just a hunting event, but a social occasion that brought together the local aristocracy and gentry, providing an opportunity for them to connect and engage in the shared pursuit of the fox. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, is a testament to the enduring appeal of hunting and the English countryside, and serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the region to this day.
