EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the idyllic scene of Bourton-on-The Water, a charming Cotswold town nestled in the heart of Gloucestershire. The serene River Windrush meanders through the town, reflecting the beauty of the low, rusticated Narrow Bridge that dates back to 1756. In the foreground, two boys in a small paddling boat delight in the simple pleasure of rowing along the river's edge, their laughter echoing through the picturesque landscape. The gentle flow of the water, the lush greenery, and the warm glow of the sun add to the tranquility of the moment. Henry Taunt, a renowned photographer of his time, captured this timeless image in 1895. The photograph is a testament to the enduring charm of Bourton-on-The Water and the joy of a simpler time, inviting us to pause and appreciate the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures in life.
