EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 1960s, showcasing the timeless tradition of hunting with beagles. The image transports us to the British countryside, where a group of well-dressed men, led by huntsman Tony Boxall, embark on an exhilarating hunt. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia and elegance to this snapshot in time. It is evident that hunting was not only a sport but also a social event for the upper class during this era. The men's attire reflects their status and sophistication as they engage in this blood sport. Despite its controversial nature today, it is important to acknowledge that at the time this photograph was taken, hunting with beagles was still legal. This image serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over time. The beagle dogs featured in the picture are integral to the hunt, displaying their natural instincts and agility alongside their human counterparts. Their presence adds charm and character to this historical moment frozen in black and white. As we observe this snapshot from decades past, we can appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its significance within British culture during the 1960s. This print allows us to reflect on our changing attitudes towards animal welfare while recognizing that history often reveals contrasting perspectives on what constitutes acceptable leisure activities.
