Full Cry: Tom Clarke, Huntsman of the Old Berkshire, in the Thrill of the Chase. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as Tom Clarke, the esteemed Huntsman of the Old Berkshire Hunt, expertly navigates his horse over a high fence during a fox hunt in the 1870s. Dressed in the traditional red jacket and white breeches of a Victorian hunter, Tom's intense focus and determination are palpable as he leads his hounds in the pursuit of their quarry. With the cry of 'full cry' echoing through the field, the excitement of the chase is in full swing. Tom's horse, strong and agile, leaps effortlessly over the fence, its hooves barely touching the ground as it lands on the other side. The hounds, hot on the trail, follow closely behind, their noses to the ground and their eyes fixed on the scent of the fox. The red coats of the hounds contrast sharply with the lush green of the field, creating a stunning visual tableau. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of fox hunting in the Victorian era, a time when the sport was at its height and the thrill of the chase was a cherished pastime for the aristocracy and gentry. Tom Clarke, as the Huntsman, played a crucial role in the hunt, leading the hounds and ensuring that they stayed on the scent of the fox. His skill and expertise were essential to the success of the hunt, making him a respected and valued member of the hunting community. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of fox hunting, a tradition that continues to captivate and inspire us today, even as the world around us changes. Tom Clarke's daring jump over the fence serves as a reminder of the courage and passion that defined the sport in the 1870s, and continues to do so to this day.
