EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Edgar Lubbock, an Englishman of remarkable achievements, in the midst of a fox hunt in 1884. Born in 1847, Lubbock made history in the world of football by winning the FA Cup twice with his team, the Quorn Football Club, in 1865 and 1867. However, his passions extended beyond the football field. Lubbock's love for the countryside and tradition led him to become the Master of the Blankney Foxhounds, a prestigious role in the world of fox hunting. Here, he is seen expertly handling his hounds, a testament to his mastery and dedication to the sport. The photograph, taken in 1906, showcases Lubbock in his element, surrounded by the rolling hills and open fields of the English countryside. His attire, consisting of a tweed jacket, breeches, and a bowler hat, is that of a quintessential English gentleman of the time. Edgar Lubbock's life was marked by a diverse range of accomplishments. In addition to his football and hunting pursuits, he also became a partner in the Whitbread Brewery and a Director of the Bank of England. This photograph offers a glimpse into the life of a man who embodied the spirit of Victorian England, with its love for tradition, sport, and industry.
