About the Collection

The Millbrook Hunt is one of the most attractive hunts in the United States, and their hunt country is perhaps the most beautiful open land anywhere in the world. Knowing this, and wanting to continue in the manner of artists who have used the Hunt as their subject matter, Kathy Landman spent a year on foot following the hunt. Beginning in the early fall with roading the young hounds, through late winter, when the pack working in concert like a finely tuned orchestra, would raise their voices in full cry, Landman witnessed many moments of beauty and inspiration for this, her first series of prints on the Millbrook Hunt.

Landman’s  artistic process is both photographic and painterly. Kathy combines pictures and drawings into seamless photo realistic images which she prints on her press using archival pigments and Hanemuhle German Etching Paper. Each of the large prints in this series is signed, numbered and embossed and limited to an edition of ten. The complete set of 12 prints is available as a boxed set, or can be ordered individually. Additional images from A Season with the  Millbrook Hunt and A Visit to Millbrook Kennels can be viewed at The Chisholm Gallery in Pine Plains and custom ordered. For pricing and availability, please request a price list via email.

FREUDY PHOTOS ARCHIVES, VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS, CLASSIC COLLECTOR’S ITEMS

For over 60 years, Freudy Photos, the East Coast’s premier society photographers, captured the beauty and split-second action of equestrian sports, and photographed America’s aristocratic, dynastic families from New York to Palm Beach. In the 1920s, Austrian-born Harry Freudy, a society photographer for the “New York Journal-American” newspaper, opened Freudy Photos studios in Aiken, S.C., and New York City.

Ted Freudy joined his father’s business in 1937, after graduating with honors from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In W.W.II, he served in a U.S. Army Photographer’s Unit, fought in the Philippines as a four-time decorated officer, and returned to Freudy Photos in 1946.

Following his father’s death in 1957, Ted became New York’s top society photographer for the next 30 years, covering Polo Matches, Steeplechase Races, Pony Races, Fox Hunting, Horse Shows, Hound Shows, and private social events.

Ted covered events at the Maryland Hunt Cup, Rosetree, Greentree, Litchfield, Newport Carriage Festival, Rolling Rock Hunt, Bryn Mawr Hound Show, Meadowbrook Polo Club, Fair Hill Races, Tuxedo Park, Rombout, Cheshire Hunt, Smithtown Hunt, Goldens Bridge Hunter Pace, Radnor Hunt, North Shore Carriage Meet, Monmouth Hunter Pace, Old Westbury, Millbrook, Essex, Far Hills, Piping Rock, Aiken, Devon, Southampton, the National Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, and the annual Masters of the Foxhunt Dinner … and more.

His Golf Tournament photos feature A.C. and Pete Bostwick, Claude Harmon, Buzzy Sheftel, Justine Cushing, and sugar king Pepe Fanjul, among many others.

Ted photographed Debutante Parties, Cotillions, Assemblies, Bridal Dinners, Weddings, Christenings, Birthday Parties, and other private events of Social Register families at their homes and at excusive clubs. His portraits of society’s brides and brides-to-be were published in the Sunday edition of the New York Times for over 30 years.

Ted Freudy’s outstanding photographs, easy manner, and strict professionalism earned him the respect and trust of generations of the privileged.

He photographed the families of Ford, DuPont, Rockefeller, Harrington, Fisk, Paley, Phipps, Whitney, Bostwick, Hitchcock, Jackie Kennedy, Joseph Widener, Stewart & Phillip Iglehart, Gimbel, Burden, Hutton, Mortimer, Duke, Oxenburg, Roosevelt, Biddle, Strawbridge, Winston Guest, Duke & Duchess of Windsor, Hannum, Goodyear, von Stade, Lilly Pulitzer, McKim, Arthur Godfrey, Stoddard, Leslie Combs, F. Ambrose Clark, John Schiff, Fern Tailer, Clarence Pell, Eve Ledyard, Eve Pell, L.C. Ledyard, George A. “Frolic” Weymouth, Bouvier, Auchinchloss, Caroline Kennedy, John Kennedy Jr., Chauncey Stillman, Merck, Doubleday, Farnham Collins, Danforth, Frank Shields, Ordway, Bancroft, Carroll Bassett, Alan Corey, Kendrick Gillespie, and hundreds more.

Ted’s remarkable photo of a Lippanzer horse was chosen for exhibit at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. His photos of Jackie Kennedy appeared in The Private Passion of Jackie Kennedy Onassis, by Vicky Moon (ReganBooks 2005). Two additional books and a documentary film containing Ted’s photos are scheduled for publication and release in 2008.

Ted Freudy died in 2005. He had been too ill to properly preserve his work, and sadly, the bulk of it was destroyed through neglect. Shortly after his death, his stepdaughter, Lorna Drake, discovered more than 1,500 society and equestrian-related negatives, a small number of original prints, and perhaps 500 negatives of weddings from the 1970s and ‘80s.

Much of the work left behind contains little or no identifying information; Ted had filed the names, years, and events of these photos in his head. But loyal customers have been most helpful in filling in the blanks, and the search continues.

It’s unknown why Ted saved some pictures and not others. But these grand images of America’s aristocracy at play over the last century are all that remain of Freudy Photos. We offer a small number here, and hope to add others, in time.
