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.

Fox have no such modern scruples with respect to poultry.
