EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in December 1926, we are transported to the picturesque Hackwood Park in Basingstoke, England. The image captures a moment during a thrilling pheasant shoot, where beaters can be seen carrying refreshments for the huntsmen. It is a scene that exudes both elegance and camaraderie. The landscape stretches out before us, enveloped in an air of anticipation. The undulating hills and sprawling fields provide the perfect backdrop for this age-old British tradition. As our gaze settles on the group of male beaters, their purposeful stride suggests they are well-versed in their role as providers of sustenance during these exhilarating hunts. Their attire harks back to a bygone era - tailored jackets, flat caps, and sturdy boots speak volumes about their dedication to this noble pursuit. Each man carries a crate filled with carefully prepared refreshments; perhaps sandwiches or flasks of hot tea await those moments when hunger or fatigue set in. Photographer W. G. Phillips skillfully captures not only the physicality of these men but also their sense of duty and pride. Their faces remain hidden from view, leaving room for speculation about their individual stories and backgrounds. This remarkable print transports us back to an era where time seemed slower yet more vibrant with shared experiences like these hunts at Hackwood Park. It serves as a testament to both the enduring traditions that shape English culture and the artistry behind capturing such timeless moments on film.
