Blowing Excited Gateway Horn Horse Back Hounds Hunt Huntsman Lighting Prepare Tights Torch Light
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a medieval night hunt, as an excited group of huntsmen and their hounds prepare for the thrill of the chase under the light of torches. The huntsman at the center, dressed in rich tones of green and brown, sits tall on his horse, blowing his horn to call his men to order. The air is thick with anticipation as the city gates are blown open, allowing the hunters and their hounds to make their way into the unknown. The scene is set against a backdrop of darkness, with only the flickering torchlight illuminating the faces of the huntsmen and the eager expressions of their hounds. The men, dressed in hunting tights and protective caps, are focused and determined, their eyes fixed on the distant horizon. The hounds, their noses twitching and ears perked up, are a picture of excitement and readiness. This historical image, brought to us by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a time when hunting was a cherished pastime of the nobility. The medieval hunt was not only a means of providing food for the table, but also a social event, a way to bond with fellow huntsmen and display one's wealth and status. The image captures the raw energy and excitement of the hunt, as well as the sense of camaraderie and tradition that bound these men together. Whether you're an history buff, a lover of animals, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-composed photograph, this print is sure to be a welcome addition to any home or office. Let it serve as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped our world, and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors.
