EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to a charming informal luncheon during a hunt meeting of the Devon and Somerset Staghounds in the early 20th century. The scene is set on the lush, green ground, where several elegantly dressed ladies and gentlemen have gathered for an alfresco meal. The year is 1908, and the Victorians have turned the simple picnic into an elaborate and fashionable social occasion. In the center of the image, a large picnic basket is open, revealing an array of delectable treats, while a gentleman in a tweed suit reaches in to select some morsels. Nearby, another gentleman is in the process of opening a bottle of wine, adding to the festive atmosphere. The ladies, dressed in their finest hats and dresses, engage in animated conversation, their laughter carried gently by the breeze. The Hunt Meeting, an important social event in the history of the Devon and Somerset Staghounds, was a time for the community to come together, enjoy each other's company, and celebrate the beauty of the countryside. The popularity of the picnic as a social event during these meetings can be seen in the 21st century, as the tradition continues to this day. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, when simple pleasures were elevated to grand occasions, and the beauty of nature provided the perfect backdrop for social gatherings. The elegance and charm of this informal luncheon continue to inspire us today, reminding us of the enduring appeal of the great outdoors and the joy of sharing a meal with good friends.
