EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a traditional foxhunt in the picturesque countryside of Bodmin, Cornwall during the 1960s. The image features a group of huntsmen, dressed in their distinctive red jackets and tall hats, gathered around their hounds as they prepare for the hunt. The hounds, with their keen eyes and eager expressions, are tethered to stakes in the grassy clearing, their noses twitching in anticipation. Horses and riders, some with their faces obscured by protective masks, can be seen in the background, readying themselves for the chase. The rolling hills of Lanhydrock Park serve as the backdrop to this timeless scene, with trees providing a striking contrast to the open fields and the clear blue sky. Foxhunting, a centuries-old tradition in the United Kingdom, has long been a popular sport in Cornwall. The North Cornwall Foxhounds, one of the oldest and most respected packs in the region, have been hunting in the area since the early 1800s. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of foxhunting in Cornwall, a sport that continues to draw enthusiasts from around the world. The photograph's warm, sepia tones add to its nostalgic appeal, transporting us back to a simpler time when the thrill of the hunt brought together men, hounds, and horses in the beautiful Cornish countryside.
