EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a Fox Meet in the quaint English village of Street Aldin during the early 1900s. The image portrays a procession of elegantly dressed hunters and their hounds making their way along the cobblestone street, their red coats and hunting hats standing out against the muted tones of the historic village. The hunters, a symbol of the aristocracy and upper class, are shown in the midst of their traditional pursuit, oblivious to the passing of time and the world around them. In stark contrast to the hunters, a mongrel dog and some 'lesser folk' are depicted on the periphery of the scene, seemingly insignificant in the grand scheme of the hunt. The dog, with its scruffy coat and wagging tail, appears curious and perhaps even a little envious of the hunters' grand display. The 'lesser folk,' dressed in simple clothing and carrying bundles, seem to be going about their daily business, barely registering the spectacle unfolding before them. This photograph offers a glimpse into the historical class system of England, where the hunt was a symbol of power, wealth, and status. The image serves as a reminder of a time when society was deeply divided, and the hunt was a way for the elite to assert their dominance and maintain their position in the social hierarchy. The photograph also highlights the contrast between the haves and have-nots, and the divide that existed between the rich and the poor in English society during this era.
