EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured on 26 October 1937, we are transported back to a time between the wars, immersing ourselves in the world of class and society. The image showcases Captain L. Bolton, the esteemed master of the R. A. (Woolwich) Draghunt, as he indulges in a traditional stirrup cup during their first meet of the season at Prattsbottom near Farnborough, Kent. Surrounded by an idyllic rural backdrop, Captain Bolton is seen raising his cup with elegance and poise while being attended to by a waiter or butler. His horse stands patiently beside him as if sharing in this momentous occasion. Meanwhile, loyal hounds eagerly await their own treat - biscuits shaped like miniature cups - adding charm and whimsy to this scene. Photographer John Topham expertly captures not only the camaraderie among these passionate hunters but also the essence of British countryside traditions that have endured for centuries. This snapshot freezes time and allows us to witness a fleeting yet cherished ritual within equestrian culture. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of simpler times when people found solace in nature's embrace and celebrated age-old customs together. It encapsulates both gracefulness and nostalgia while offering us glimpses into history through its portrayal of horseback riding enthusiasts united by their shared love for hunting adventures amidst picturesque landscapes.
