EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in English country life, as the Hounds of the Essex Otter Hunt assemble at the side of a quiet country road. The Master of the Hunt, dressed in traditional hunting attire complete with cap and hunting staff, stands proudly among his loyal canine companions. The year is 1909, and the flat, open landscape of Essex provides the perfect backdrop for this historical sporting scene. The hounds, with their keen noses and focused expressions, are a testament to the ancient art of otter hunting, a tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. The otter, a highly prized quarry, was once hunted for its valuable pelt and for sport. The hunt was a social event, bringing together the local gentry and their tenants, and providing a sense of community and camaraderie. The country road, lined with trees and hedgerows, adds to the sense of tranquility and timelessness. The hounds, with their eager eyes and alert posture, are a reminder of the close bond between man and dog, a bond that has endured through the centuries. The Master, with his hunting staff in hand, exudes a sense of authority and control, as he leads his hounds in pursuit of their quarry. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the history of hunting in Essex, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape the English countryside. It is a beautiful and evocative image that transports us back in time, and invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of a hunting party in full swing.
