EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Raymond de Trafford at the Belvoir Hunt, 1928: A Tale of Love, Tragedy, and the Happy Valley Set" In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Raymond de Trafford (1900-1971) is captured mid-ride during the Belvoir Hunt in 1928. De Trafford, the dashing young man in the image, was a prominent figure in the Happy Valley set, a notorious community of British expatriates in Kenya during the 1920s and 1930s, known for their hedonistic lifestyle and disregard for social norms. Born to Sir Humphrey de Trafford, Raymond's life was marked by privilege and adventure. His marriage to Alice de Janze, a fellow member of the Happy Valley set, was a tumultuous one. In a tragic turn of events, Alice, in a state of mental distress, shot and wounded Raymond before turning the gun on herself. Remarkably, both survived the incident. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of a bygone era. Raymond's intense focus on the hunt, the vibrant colors of his riding outfit, and the thrill of the chase are all palpable. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and contradictions that defined the lives of the Happy Valley set, a group of individuals who, despite their scandalous behavior, continue to fascinate and intrigue. This photograph, with its rich historical context, is an invaluable addition to any collection focusing on the social history of Kenya, the British Empire, or the interwar period. It invites us to explore the lives of the Happy Valley set and the complexities of their world, a world of love, tragedy, and the pursuit of pleasure. Date: 1928. Keywords: Raymond de Trafford, Happy Valley, Kenya, Belvoir Hunt, hunting, riding, 1920s, 1930s, British expatriates, social history, colonialism, interwar period.
