EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during a Coaching Club meeting in Hyde Park, Greater London. As the crowd eagerly gathers in anticipation, their eyes are fixed on a magnificent horse-drawn coach gracefully passing by. This image is reminiscent of an era that dates back to the early 1800s when members of coaching clubs would convene in Hyde Park before embarking on delightful journeys to lunch destinations like Crystal Palace, Greenwich, or Richmond. The London Season brought together individuals from all walks of life who shared a common love for equestrian sports and recreation. In this snapshot from the 1900s, we witness not only the charm of horse-drawn transport but also the vibrant atmosphere created by people and animals alike. Katherine MacFee's lens has perfectly captured this historical scene within Hyde Park's public parkland. The composition transports us back to an age where elegance and sophistication were intertwined with outdoor leisure activities. It serves as a reminder of how our ancestors found joy and entertainment amidst nature's beauty. As we admire this remarkable photograph print, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its historical significance. It allows us to glimpse into a bygone era filled with tradition, camaraderie, and unbridled enthusiasm for sport - all encapsulated within one frame.
