EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of autumn in the English countryside, as a Bloodhound named Wildfire, owned by the renowned racing driver and dog enthusiast, John Oldfield, poses against the backdrop of Bratton Tor in Devon, England, in 1947. The fiery red and gold leaves of the trees frame the powerful and noble Bloodhound, its ears perked up and eyes focused intently on something just out of sight. The hound's sleek, muscular body is coated in a rich, glossy coat, and its strong, agile legs are poised for action. Bloodhounds are one of the oldest and most distinctive breeds, known for their exceptional sense of smell, which makes them excellent tracking dogs. In the 1940s and 50s, Bloodhounds were a popular choice for hunting wild game, and their keen noses were also used in law enforcement to track criminals. John Oldfield was a passionate hunter and dog lover, and he was known for his impressive collection of Bloodhounds, which he kept at his estate in Devon. In this photograph, Wildfire seems to embody the spirit of the season, with its fiery red and gold coat blending seamlessly with the autumnal foliage. The image is a beautiful testament to the deep bond between man and dog, and the timeless allure of the English countryside.
