EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Bottesford, Leicestershire, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The focal point is the Bottesford Market Cross, standing tall and proud on Market Street. Its intricate design and historical significance are truly awe-inspiring. As we delve deeper into the image, our eyes wander to the fascinating elements surrounding the market cross. To one side stands a set of stocks and a whipping post, remnants of an era when justice was served publicly. These reminders transport us to a time long past, evoking curiosity about how they were once used. Intriguingly juxtaposed against this scene from history is a tandem bicycle leaning casually against a nearby wall. A symbol of progress and modernity during its time, it adds an unexpected touch to this otherwise traditional setting. One can only imagine the stories behind its presence - perhaps two adventurous souls exploring these ancient streets or simply taking in the sights at their own pace. Completing this picturesque tableau is The Bull Hotel looming in the background with its charming architecture providing an exquisite backdrop for this snapshot of history. Through Charles George Harper's skilled illustration between 1892-1933, we are transported back in time to witness daily life in Bottesford as it once was. This remarkable piece serves as both a window into history and an invitation for contemplation about how much has changed since then – both within these walls and beyond them.
