EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Caravans arriving" we are transported back to the vibrant and bustling streets of Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire in the 1920s. The image captures a momentous event - the arrival of two gypsy caravans for the renowned Stow Horse Fair. As our eyes wander through the frame, we witness a fascinating blend of people, animals, trade, and tradition. The horse-drawn carriages stand tall against a backdrop of quaint cottages and cobbled streets, symbolizing an era when horsepower was still king. Gypsies and travelers from far and wide have gathered here to partake in this age-old custom that has been passed down through generations. The scene is alive with energy as merchants set up their stalls alongside colorful wagons adorned with intricate patterns. Horses neigh impatiently while children run excitedly between them, eager to catch a glimpse of what lies ahead. Katherine MacFee's masterful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this snapshot from history. It reminds us of a time when communities thrived on these fairs as vital hubs for commerce and social interaction. This evocative photograph not only celebrates the beauty of traditional horse-drawn transport but also pays homage to the enduring customs and traditions that continue to shape our cultural heritage today.
