EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The hunt is off with the hounds chasing the scent" captured by John Topham on 25 October 1937, we are transported to a time between the wars in rural Europe. The image exudes an air of elegance and opulence as it portrays a scene from a posh hunting expedition. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, our attention is immediately drawn to the majestic horses galloping alongside their riders. The huntsman leads the way, his posture reflecting confidence and determination. Behind him, a pack of hounds eagerly follows suit, their noses diligently sniffing out the elusive scent. Amidst all this action, we notice a waiter standing nearby, holding drinks for those partaking in this grand affair. This detail adds an intriguing layer to the composition - perhaps it signifies that even during such exhilarating pursuits, there's always room for leisurely indulgence. The image beautifully captures not only the thrill of hunting but also offers us glimpses into rural life during that era. It serves as a reminder of wealth and privilege enjoyed by certain segments of society at that time. John Topham's skillful use of monochrome enhances every element within the frame - from horseback riders to dogs in pursuit - creating an atmosphere reminiscent of old-world charm and sophistication. This photograph from TopFoto transports us back to an era where tradition intertwined with adventure; where man and beast worked together towards one common goal – capturing nature
