EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of a huntsman skillfully navigating his horse over a high hedge during a fox hunt in the 1920s. Dressed in his traditional scarlet jacket and high boots, the huntsman demonstrates the grace and agility required for this ancient sport. In the background, another horse and rider can be seen in mid-fall, adding a sense of excitement and unpredictability to the scene. This illustration is taken from the pages of "The Rat-Catcher's Daughter," a children's book published by Aldin in 1926. The book, written by Cecil Arthur King, was a popular addition to many young readers' libraries during the 1920s. The illustration, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the history and culture of fox hunting during this era. Fox hunting, a traditional English sport, has a long and storied history. Dating back to the 15th century, the sport involves the use of hounds to track and chase foxes across open countryside. Huntsmen, like the one depicted in this image, lead the hunt and use their expertise to direct the hounds and ensure the safety of the riders. This image is a testament to the enduring appeal of hunting and the thrill of the chase. It also offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where horses and hounds ruled the countryside and the pursuit of sport was a cherished pastime. Whether you're a history buff, a horse lover, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-executed jump, this image is sure to capture your imagination and transport you to a time when life moved a little slower and the thrill of the hunt was a daily adventure.
