EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by H. L. Oakley takes us on a journey through the timeless tradition of fox hunting in the picturesque countryside near York. The image showcases three distinct scenes, each beautifully captured in silhouette. In the first scene, we witness the exhilarating chase as riders and their horses are seen in full cry, racing across the fields with hounds eagerly leading the way. The energy and excitement of this moment is palpable. Moving to the second scene, we find ourselves at a charming village green where hunters gather for a meet before embarking on their adventure. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as riders donning traditional jackets exchange greetings and prepare for an unforgettable day ahead. The final scene brings us to nightfall, where riders bid farewell after a successful hunt. As hounds return to their cozy kennels near Dunnington, there is a sense of contentment and camaraderie among both humans and animals alike. H. L. Oakley's skillful use of silhouettes adds an air of mystery and timelessness to these rural scenes. Through his lens, he captures not only the physical beauty of Yorkshire's landscape but also portrays the deep-rooted traditions that have shaped its culture for generations. This print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of fox hunting as both a sport and an integral part of British heritage. It reminds us that amidst modernity, there are still pockets where age-old traditions thrive – preserving our connection to history while celebrating nature's splendor.
