EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee captures a picturesque scene in Burton Bradstock, West Dorset. The image showcases a horse-drawn cart gracefully making its way along the main road, surrounded by the idyllic rural landscape of Dorset. The horses featured in this photograph are adorned with beautifully decorated harnesses and strapping, embellished with intricate horse brasses. These ornamental pieces add an element of tradition and custom to the already charming scene. Transportation during the 1920s relied heavily on draft horses like these magnificent creatures, known for their strength and reliability as workhorses. Their presence in this image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when horsepower was literal rather than metaphorical. Katherine MacFee's expert composition allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these animals but also the significance they held within daily life at that time. This print serves as a window into history, reminding us of simpler times when horse-drawn transport was an integral part of rural communities. With its attention to detail and timeless appeal, this photograph is sure to captivate anyone who appreciates both artistry and historical significance.
