EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee showcases the picturesque village of Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire during the 1920s. The image captures a serene scene on Sherborne Street, where a horse-drawn cart gracefully crosses a ford on the River Windrush. In the background, we are treated to a delightful view of a charming mill building, quaint houses, and the iconic Bell Inn. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as it transports us back in time to an era when horse-drawn transport was still prevalent. The sight of this traditional mode of transportation adds an element of nostalgia and reminds us of simpler times. Bourton-on-the-Water's idyllic waterscape takes center stage in this photograph. The river crossing creates a beautiful focal point that draws our attention towards its crystal-clear waters flowing gently beneath the horse-drawn cart. This natural feature perfectly complements the architectural beauty surrounding it. As we admire this snapshot from history, we can't help but be captivated by the Cotswolds' timeless charm. With its rolling hills and honey-colored stone buildings, this region has long been celebrated for its unspoiled beauty. Katherine MacFee's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic appeal of Bourton-on-the-Water during one enchanting moment in time.
