Making an Early Start for a Day of Foxhunting, 1902: A Humorous Snapshot of a Bygone Era This charming photograph, titled "Foxhunt Early Start, 1902," captures the essence of an early morning fox hunt in England at the turn of the twentieth century. The image, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the history and traditions of fox hunting, a pastime that was once a popular social activity for the British aristocracy. The scene unfolds in a cozy bedroom, where a well-dressed man lies in bed, pulling on his hunting boots and donning his fox hunting attire. His wife, dressed in a nightgown and robe, looks on with a playful expression, holding a whip in one hand and a cup of tea in the other. The man's hunting dog, a foxhound, waits patiently at the foot of the bed, wearing a pair of leather slippers. The couple's preparations for the day's hunt are in full swing, with hunting gear scattered about the room. A hunting horn and a pair of riding breeches lie on a nearby chair, while a hunting coat and a hat hang on the wall. The man's riding boots are polished to a shine, and his hunting whip is coiled and ready to go. The photograph's title, "Foxhunt Early Start, 1902," suggests that the couple is making an early start to the day in order to be on time for the hunt. The image is filled with humor and warmth, as the couple shares a moment of intimacy and companionship before embarking on their day's adventure. The photograph is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of the British aristocracy and the traditions of fox hunting in the early 1900s. It is a reminder of a bygone era, when life moved at a slower pace, and hunting was a cherished pastime that brought people together in the spirit of community and camaraderie.
