EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the picturesque village of Chideock, located in West Dorset, England. The image beautifully captures Main Street, with its charming Georgian houses lining the road and creating a sense of timeless elegance. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn towards Apple Tree Cottage and Apple Tree Thatch on the left side of the street. These quaint thatched-roof cottages exude warmth and character, adding to the idyllic atmosphere of this rural setting. On the opposite side of Main Street stands a shop adorned with a BP sign outside. A vintage petrol pump can also be seen nearby, reminding us of an era when road transport was undergoing significant changes during the 1920s. This glimpse into history allows us to imagine bustling streets filled with classic cars and horse-drawn carriages passing through. Katherine MacFee's expert composition transports us back in time while capturing every intricate detail that defines Chideock's unique charm. From the well-preserved architecture to small touches like signage and petrol pumps, this photograph encapsulates not only a specific moment but also evokes nostalgia for simpler times. With her keen eye for detail and ability to capture moments frozen in time, MacFee invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty of Chideock's past as well as its enduring legacy within West Dorset's rich cultural heritage.
