EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a traditional fox hunt in the picturesque village of East Dean, East Sussex during the 1960s. The huntsmen and hounds, dressed in their distinctive red coats and tall hats, gather around the stone wall and buildings of the old stable, preparing for the ride out. The excitement is palpable as the hounds bay for the scent of their quarry, while the horses, taut with anticipation, are saddled and readied for the chase. The rustic scene transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of rural England. The huntsmen, a mix of local men and visitors, mount their horses and take up their positions, forming a line as they prepare to set off in pursuit of their quarry. The beagles, a breed of small hound, follow close behind, their keen noses leading the way. The hunt, a time-honored sporting tradition in the English countryside, has been a part of the fabric of rural life for centuries. It is a spectacle that brings together people and animals in a shared pursuit of the thrill of the chase. The landscape of East Dean, with its rolling hills, quaint stone buildings, and winding lanes, provides the perfect backdrop for this timeless scene. As the huntsmen and hounds set off, the village of East Dean fades into the distance, leaving only the sound of hooves on the ground and the distant cry of the hounds, a reminder of the enduring allure of the hunt in the English countryside.
