EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled 'Presentation of a Silver Statuette to Mr. W.E. Oakeley on his Retirement from the Mastership of the Atherstone Hounds' was published in The Graphic, an illustrated weekly newspaper, in 1891. The image captures a poignant moment in the history of fox hunting in England, as the Master of the Atherstone Hounds, Mr. W.E. Oakeley, receives a silver statuette in recognition of his service and dedication to the hunt. The scene is set in the picturesque English countryside, with the Master, dressed in traditional hunting attire, standing proudly on horseback. He is flanked by fellow huntsmen, all dressed in their red coats and jodhpurs, as they present him with the statuette. The women in the background, dressed in elegant Victorian fashion, look on approvingly from the sidelines. However, the image also raises questions about the ethics of fox hunting and the treatment of animals. Fox hunting was a popular sport in 19th century England, but it was also a source of controversy due to concerns about animal cruelty. The hunt involved chasing a fox on horseback, often with hounds, and the animal was rarely spared. Despite this, the photograph presents a romanticized vision of country life, with the huntsmen and their horses depicted as noble figures in the landscape. The presentation of the silver statuette serves as a symbol of respect and admiration for Mr. Oakeley's role as Master of the Hounds, and the image offers a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era, offering insights into the world of fox hunting, Victorian fashion, and the role of the Master of the Hounds in 19th century England.
