Camberley College Drag Hounds Staff
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Royal Staff College in Camberley, England. Established in 1862, the college was a prestigious military institution that played a pivotal role in the training and development of British military staff officers. The image showcases the college grounds, adorned with vibrant autumn colors, as the setting for a drag hunt. Drag hunting, a traditional English hunting practice, involved following an artificial scent trail, rather than chasing live animals. The hounds, seen in the foreground, are eagerly following the trail, their noses close to the ground, while their handlers, dressed in hunting attire, look on with anticipation. The Royal Staff College, with its red-brick buildings and tall chimneys, stands proudly in the background, surrounded by lush greenery. The picture, with its picturesque and nostalgic charm, transports us back to an era of elegance and tradition. The use of the photochrom process, a popular method for producing colored photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds to the image's richness and depth. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a bygone era, providing a fascinating insight into the military, social, and cultural practices of the time. It serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted history and traditions that continue to shape the British way of life.
