EDITORS COMMENTS
George Charles FitzWilliam, the distinguished figure in this photograph, was born in 1866 as the son of the Honorable George Wentworth FitzWilliam. George's lineage was steeped in nobility, with his father serving as a prominent landowner and holding the titles of Mayor of Peterborough and High Sheriff of Northamptonshire. George himself followed in the footsteps of his forebears, donning the uniform of the Royal Horse Guards and participating in the military tradition. This image, captured by the renowned Vanity Fair, portrays FitzWilliam in his element, dressed in a vibrant red hunting coat. The foxhunting scene exudes an air of elegance and refinement, a testament to the genteel pastimes of the British aristocracy. The rich history of this photograph is further accentuated by the presence of FitzWilliam's loyal hounds, their keen eyes fixed on the trail of the elusive fox. George's life was marked by a multifaceted career, which included his military service, his role as a landowner, and his civic duties as a mayor and high sheriff. This photograph, however, offers a glimpse into his personal life and the pursuit that brought him joy and camaraderie. The red coat, the hounds, and the fox all come together to create a captivating tableau of a bygone era, inviting us to explore the history and traditions of the past.
