EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch, dated 1936, captures the thrilling moment of a hound in full pursuit during a fox hunt in Britain. The hound, with its white and black markings, is shown in mid-action, ears perked up, and eyes fixed intently on the trail. The scene exudes the excitement and energy of the sport, which has a rich history dating back centuries. Foxhunting was a popular pastime in the 1930s, and this illustration provides a glimpse into the world of foxhounds and their human companions. Foxhounds were bred specifically for the sport, and their keen sense of smell and agility made them excellent hunters. The hounds would follow the scent of the fox, barking to alert their riders when they were close. The image also captures the camaraderie and community aspect of fox hunting. Riders and hounds work together in the chase, with the riders using their horses to keep up with the hounds and maintain the pace. The scene is filled with a sense of tradition and history, with the riders dressed in their hunting attire and the hounds embodying the spirit of the chase. This sketch is a beautiful and historical representation of a time when the pursuit of the fox was a cherished pastime in Britain. It is a reminder of the connection between humans and animals, and the enduring appeal of the great outdoors.
