Somewhere in the middle of a fox hunt with the Meadowbrook Hunt Club in 1899. Photo from the Museum of the City of New York.

Great photograph -- has the feel of a painting. But I wonder how the photographer chose that spot? Because the rider pivoting in the foreground makes the shot. Am I over-analyzing?

Great photo...but makes me feel sad for the poor foxes.
The unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible.
Barbaric. Most fox were literally ripped apart by the pack.
The Ghost of Oscar Wild beat me to it.
And utter agreement with both Anons.
Fox have no such modern scruples with respect to poultry.
