EDITORS COMMENTS
A Squire's Determined Pursuit: The Unfortunate Accident of John Mytton, the Eccentric Fox Hunter, 1820s In the heart of the English countryside, amidst the rolling hills and picturesque villages, an unusual scene unfolds. John Mytton, a renowned eccentric and avid fox hunter, finds himself in a precarious position during a chase. The year is 1820s, and Mytton, dressed in the traditional hunting attire, is shown taking a tumble near a squire-trap. His face is etched with determination and a hint of disappointment, as he cries out, "A little more, and I should have done it, by Jove!" John Mytton, born in 1796, was a larger-than-life figure in English society. Known for his daring exploits and eccentric behavior, Mytton was a squire of the ancient Shropshire estate of Danesfort and Apperley. Fox hunting was one of his greatest passions, and he was known to take the sport to extremes. In this image, Mytton is shown in the midst of a chase, his horse rearing up as he leans precariously over a squire-trap, a pitfall used to capture foxes. The trap, however, fails to capture its intended prey, and instead, Mytton falls in. The incident is said to have occurred near Apperley, in Worcestershire. Despite the mishap, Mytton's spirit remains unbroken. He is shown with a determined look on his face, as if he is already planning his next move. The incident only adds to his legend, making him a figure of enduring fascination in English history. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of a bygone era, and the indomitable spirit of an English eccentric. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the English countryside and the people who call it home.
