EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Traditional British Country Scene: The Meet of the Fox Hounds" (circa 1890s) This black-and-white lantern slide, hailing from the late 19th century, transports us back in time to a quintessentially British rural setting. The image, titled "The Meet of the Fox Hounds," is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the English countryside. The scene is bustling with activity as horseback riders and their hounds gather for a fox hunt. The riders, dressed in their traditional hunting attire, are seen conversing and preparing their horses for the chase. The fox hounds, with their keen eyes and alert expressions, are tethered to stakes, eagerly awaiting the signal to begin the hunt. The horses, with their sleek coats and powerful builds, stand ready, their breath visible in the crisp morning air. The riders' faces are etched with determination and anticipation, reflecting the excitement and thrill of the hunt. The rolling hills and lush greenery in the background add to the idyllic pastoral setting, emphasizing the timeless beauty of the English countryside. This image, part of the Boswell Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare and captivating glimpse into the traditional British country scene of the late 1800s. The meet of the fox hounds was a long-standing rural tradition in England, dating back centuries. The hunt provided an opportunity for the community to come together, celebrate their shared heritage, and connect with the natural world. This lantern slide is a testament to the enduring appeal of these traditions and the rich history of the English countryside.
