EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee transports us back in time to the enchanting Golden Cross Hotel, nestled on Cornmarket Street in Oxford, Oxfordshire. The image captures the essence of this medieval timber-framed building, showcasing its timeless beauty and rich history. As we gaze upon the south range of the hotel from within its charming courtyard, our eyes are immediately drawn to a striking motorbike and sidecar parked just outside. This juxtaposition between old-world architecture and modern road transport creates a fascinating visual narrative that speaks volumes about the evolving times. The Golden Cross Hotel stands as a testament to centuries gone by, with its intricate details and sturdy structure proudly displaying its medieval origins. It serves as a reminder of how buildings can withstand the test of time while still adapting to contemporary needs. Katherine MacFee's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of this historic establishment and the subtle nuances that make it truly unique. The play of light and shadow adds depth to every corner captured in this photograph, immersing us further into its nostalgic atmosphere. This evocative snapshot is not only an ode to architectural heritage but also an invitation for viewers like ourselves to step into another era – one where timber-framed structures stood tall amidst bustling streets filled with vintage modes of transportation.
