Chasing the Fox,
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Philip Stretton (1908) This photograph, taken by renowned English artist Philip Stretton in 1908, showcases a quintessential moment in the long-standing tradition of fox hunting with Wire-haired Fox Terriers. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, an era when these agile and tenacious dogs were indispensable companions for hunters. The photograph features a group of three Wire-haired Fox Terriers, their bodies taut with focus and determination, as they chase a fox into its burrow. The terriers' wiry coats, erect ears, and intense expressions convey their unwavering commitment to their role as quarry hunters. Their muscular frames and powerful legs are poised for action, ready to follow the fox into its underground den. The image captures the raw energy and excitement of the hunt, as well as the unique bond between the hunter and his canine companions. The terriers' keen senses and ability to chase quarry into burrows and dens made them invaluable assets to hunters, who relied on their courage and tenacity to successfully track and capture their prey. Philip Stretton's masterful composition and use of light and shadow create a striking visual narrative, immortalizing a moment in time that speaks to the rich history of hunting traditions and the remarkable role that Wire-haired Fox Terriers played in it. This photograph is not only a testament to the beauty and power of these dogs but also a window into a bygone era, offering us a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of the hunt.
