EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Katherine MacFee, we are transported back to the 1920s in Burford, West Oxfordshire. The image captures a serene moment at the ford next to the bridge over the River Windrush. A woman stands gracefully on the riverbank, her eyes fixed on two majestic horses as they quench their thirst from the crystal-clear water. The composition of this photograph is truly remarkable; it beautifully showcases both nature and human interaction. The woman's presence adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, as if she is silently appreciating this harmonious connection between animals and their environment. The charm of this snapshot lies in its simplicity. It reminds us of a time when life moved at a slower pace, where people took moments like these to appreciate nature's wonders. The vintage aesthetic further enhances our nostalgic journey into history. As we gaze upon this picture, we can almost hear the gentle trickle of water flowing beneath hooves and feel a cool breeze rustling through nearby trees. It serves as a reminder that amidst our modern hustle and bustle, there is still beauty in finding solace by riversides and witnessing simple acts such as horses drinking peacefully. Katherine MacFee has masterfully captured an enchanting slice of rural life that continues to resonate with viewers today. This print allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in an era where simplicity was cherished above all else – even for just a fleeting moment at a picturesque ford in Bur
