EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee transports us back in time to the serene village of Burton Bradstock in West Dorset, Dorset. The image showcases a picturesque view of the River Bride, with the majestic tower of St Mary's Church standing proudly in the distance. The photograph seems to have been taken from a vantage point near the weir close to Darby House on Grove Road, offering a unique perspective of this charming waterscape. As we gaze upon this scene captured in the 1920s, we are reminded of the timeless beauty and tranquility that nature has bestowed upon this idyllic location. The composition is flawless; every detail meticulously preserved by MacFee's skilled lens. The gentle flow of the river creates a soothing ambiance while reflecting fragments of sunlight dancing across its surface. The lush greenery lining its banks adds depth and richness to an already enchanting setting. St Mary's Church emerges as a focal point against an expansive sky, its tower reaching towards heavens as if seeking divine approval for this breathtaking landscape below. Its architectural elegance stands as a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship and serves as a reminder of our connection to history. In capturing this moment frozen in time, Katherine MacFee invites us into her world where past meets present through her lens. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Burton Bradstock's natural wonders but also offers glimpses into our own collective heritage and shared human experience
