Anticipation Hounds Hunt Lane Meet
Going to Meet - A Scene from a Fox Hunt in 1912
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a traditional fox hunt in rural England during the early 20th century. The image, titled "Going to Meet," depicts a group of huntsmen and hounds gathered at the start of a hunt, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the fox. The scene takes place in a picturesque country lane, lined with tall trees and lush vegetation, creating a sense of seclusion and tranquility. At the center of the photograph, a general, dressed in full hunting attire, stands tall and imposing, his gaze fixed on the horizon. He wears a red coat, signifying his position of authority within the hunt. Surrounding him are several huntsmen, all dressed in similar attire and holding hunting weapons. Their faces are a mix of anticipation and determination, reflecting the excitement and intensity of the hunt to come. In the foreground, a pack of hounds sits patiently, their ears perked up and eyes fixed on the general. Their keen sense of smell has already detected the presence of the fox, and they are ready to give chase. The hounds' eager expressions and taut bodies convey a sense of restless energy, adding to the overall sense of tension and excitement in the scene. The photograph captures the raw beauty and excitement of a traditional fox hunt, transporting viewers back in time to a simpler era. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of the hunt, and the deep connection between man and nature that it represents. With its stunning composition and evocative subject matter, "Going to Meet" is a must-have for any collection of rural or hunting-themed photographs.
