EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and resilience during World War I, as women stepped up to take on traditional male roles in various aspects of life. In the world of hunting, Mrs Selby Lowndes, a brave and accomplished woman, assumes the role of Master of the Whaddon Chase Foxhounds in the absence of her husband, Major Selby Lowndes, who was likely serving at the front. The scene is set at Wing, near Leighton Buzzard, in 1915. The image shows Mrs Lowndes confidently leading the hunt, with her fellow huntsmen looking on in respect and admiration. The bloodhounds, eager and focused, are poised for the chase, their noses to the ground, ready to follow the scent of the fox. The countryside stretches out behind them, dotted with trees and rolling hills, providing a picturesque backdrop to this historic moment. Despite the challenges and uncertainties of the time, the pursuit of the fox continued, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the hunt and the determination of the community to carry on, even in the face of adversity. Mrs Selby Lowndes' bold assumption of the Master's role is a testament to the strength and adaptability of women during this period, as they proved themselves capable of handling traditionally male-dominated activities and keeping the fabric of their communities intact. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into history, showcasing the remarkable resilience and adaptability of those who lived through the tumultuous events of World War I. The image is a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the enduring allure of the hunt.
