EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the English countryside and the traditional sport of foxhunting in the 1930s. Taken in the Vale of the White Horse (VWH) area of Wiltshire, specifically from Blunsdon in Cricklade, the image showcases a scenic view of rolling hills, dotted with trees and hedges, that stretch out towards the horizon. In the foreground, a group of riders, dressed in the distinctive red coats and black and tan hounds of the Cricklade Hunt, are seen in pursuit of a fox. The hounds, with their keen noses and focused expressions, are hot on the trail, while their handlers urge their horses forward. The flat, open fields provide ample space for the chase, as the riders and hounds navigate the terrain with ease. The historical significance of this scene is further emphasized by the inclusion of the ancient White Horse of Uffington, which can be seen etched into the chalk hillside in the distance. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, capturing the beauty of the English countryside and the rich history of foxhunting in the West Country during the 1930s.
