Authoress Hounds Hunt Meet Mona Pack Surrounded Taking


EDITORS COMMENTS
A Young Writer Amidst the Thrill of the Fox Hunt, 1930s This evocative photograph captures the spirit of a bygone era, as a young girl, Mona Chanlen, takes an active role in a traditional fox hunt during the 1930s. Surrounded by an eager pack of hounds, Mona's determination and focus are palpable as she prepares for the chase. Mona Chanlen, an authoress of the time, was not only known for her literary pursuits but also for her love of the great outdoors and the thrill of the hunt. The photograph, taken during a meet, or gathering of hunters, showcases her passion for this ancient sport. Fox hunting, a historical practice with roots dating back to the Middle Ages, was a popular pastime for the British aristocracy and gentry. The tradition involved using hounds to chase and flush out foxes, which were then hunted on horseback. The meet was an essential social event for the hunting community, bringing together families and friends to enjoy the day's activities. In this photograph, Mona stands out as an exceptional figure. Her participation in the hunt defies the societal norms of the time, as women were typically relegated to supporting roles. However, Mona's unwavering dedication to her interests, both literary and sporting, sets her apart. The image transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of nature and community were cherished. Mona Chanlen's story serves as a reminder that passion and determination can lead us to unexpected places, even in the most traditional of settings.
