EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 19th century photograph captures the noble figure of Charles Davis, Huntsman of the Royal Buckhounds, as he sits confidently atop his red jacketed horse. The huntsman, dressed in traditional hunting attire, holds the reins of his mount with one hand and a hunting horn in the other, signaling the start of the hunt. A loyal hound sits obediently at his feet, its ears perked up and eyes fixed on its master. Charles Davis, an esteemed huntsman, was a key figure in the royal hunting parties of the 19th century. The Royal Buckhounds were a select group of hounds and their handlers, responsible for hunting deer and other game for the British monarchy. Davis' expertise and dedication to his role were unmatched, making him a respected and beloved member of the royal court. The photograph, taken during the height of the hunting season, captures the essence of the sporting life in the 19th century. The rugged terrain and open countryside provide a beautiful backdrop to the scene, with the vibrant red jacket of Davis and the rich brown coat of his horse standing out against the green and gold hues of the landscape. The image is a testament to the strong bond between man and animal, as well as the enduring tradition of hunting in the British Isles. This photograph is a rare and valuable document of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the world of the Royal Buckhounds and the men and animals who made up this esteemed institution. It is a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of hunting in the United Kingdom and the important role that figures like Charles Davis played in preserving this tradition.
