EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the quaint and charming Old George Yard in Burford, West Oxfordshire. The image captures a picturesque view of historic houses lining the narrow courtyard, exuding an undeniable sense of character and heritage. As we gaze into this snapshot from the 1920s, our attention is drawn towards two young girls standing near the entrance that connects Old George Yard to the bustling High Street. The composition beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time, where everyday life unfolds against a backdrop of architectural splendor. The rustic charm emanating from each house tells stories of generations past, while the presence of people adds a touch of liveliness to this otherwise serene scene. MacFee's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the intricate design elements within each burgage plot but also how they seamlessly blend with their surroundings. This photograph serves as a testament to both her artistic prowess and her ability to capture history through her lens. As we immerse ourselves in this evocative image, it becomes clear that Old George Yard is more than just bricks and mortar; it represents an enduring connection between past and present. It reminds us that beneath its weathered facades lie countless tales waiting to be discovered – stories that continue to shape our understanding of Oxfordshire's rich cultural heritage.
