EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Hunting Alphabet - C," is a captivating glimpse into the rich history of hunting culture in the early 20th century. The image, taken in 1929, depicts a man identified as a 'Coper' standing before a horse. The term 'Coper' is believed to be derived from the Old English word 'copian,' meaning to buy or sell. In the context of this hunting alphabet, the Coper is portrayed as the individual who would sell horses to hunters, both those who would provide them with superior mounts for the chase, and those who would offer less desirable ones. The photograph is part of a larger series of hunting alphabets, which were popular in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These alphabets were used as teaching aids to help young hunters remember the various roles and characters they would encounter during a hunt. Each letter of the alphabet was assigned a specific role, with the image and accompanying description serving to illustrate the meaning. The Coper, with his weathered face and worn clothing, exudes a sense of experience and knowledge. He stands next to a well-groomed horse, suggesting that he is a reputable seller who can provide a reliable mount. However, the image also hints at the potential for deception, with the caption noting that some Copers would sell horses that were less than ideal. This photograph offers a fascinating insight into the world of hunting culture during the early 20th century, highlighting the importance of the horse in the hunt and the role of the Coper in providing mounts for hunters. It is a reminder of a time when hunting was a central part of rural life and the intricacies of the hunt were passed down from one generation to the next.
