EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and timeless photograph, the Buckfast Otter Hounds of Devon, England, are gathered for their prestigious meet in the 1930s. The scene exudes an air of privilege and refinement, as the hounds and their handlers, dressed in their finest hunting attire, await the start of the hunt. The rolling hills and verdant landscape of Devon provide the perfect backdrop for this noble tradition, which dates back centuries. Otter hunting was once a popular pastime among the aristocracy and gentry, and the Buckfast Otter Hounds were renowned for their exceptional tracking abilities and keen sense of smell. The hounds, with their distinctive white and black coats, sit obediently on the grass, their eyes fixed on their handlers with anticipation. The huntsmen, dressed in tweed jackets, jodhpurs, and tall boots, stand proudly beside them, their faces etched with determination and pride. The atmosphere at this meet is one of camaraderie and tradition, as the hunters and their hounds come together to celebrate the ancient sport of otter hunting. The scene is a testament to a bygone era, when the pursuit of the otter was a symbol of wealth, status, and the great outdoors. Despite the passage of time, the image remains a captivating reminder of the beauty and grandeur of this privileged world, and the enduring allure of the hunt. The Buckfast Otter Hounds of Devon continue to be a source of fascination and inspiration, as they carry on the proud legacy of their noble ancestors.
