EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Katherine MacFee, we are transported back in time to the early 1900s. The image showcases a picturesque scene at the Ypres Castle Inn in Gungarden, Rye, East Sussex. Standing proudly amidst its charming surroundings, the inn exudes an air of history and warmth. However, it is not just the pub that steals our attention; it is the lively trio of boys in the foreground that truly brings this photograph to life. One of them can be seen joyfully perched on top of a donkey, his face glowing with excitement and delight. It's as if he has momentarily escaped into a world filled with innocence and adventure. The steps leading up to the inn add depth to the composition while also serving as a reminder of public spaces where memories were made during childhood days gone by. This nostalgic glimpse into yesteryears reminds us of simpler times when people found solace in each other's company and sought joy through simple pleasures. MacFee's skillful capture transports us back to an era where animals played an integral role in everyday life - from farm work to leisurely rides like this one. Through her lens, she encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions tied closely with nostalgia and fond remembrance. This remarkable print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a poignant reminder of how much has changed over decades while simultaneously reminding us that some things remain timeless: childhood laughter
