EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, taken by renowned photographer John Topham, transports us back to a significant moment in history. Dated 3 December 1952, it showcases the revival of an age-old tradition - the fox hunt - at the first Fatstock Show held in Edenbridge, Kent, England. Against the backdrop of Edenbridge High Street, we witness a scene that epitomizes rural life and countryside pursuits. A huntsman on horseback leads a pack of eager hounds as they embark on their chase through lush fields and rolling hills. The image exudes an air of excitement and camaraderie among participants who have gathered for this beloved event. The presence of a bustling cattle market nearby adds another layer to this snapshot from post-war Britain. It symbolizes not only the resilience and recovery following World War II but also highlights how deeply ingrained these customs were within local communities.
