EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pond MCF01_02_0896" by Katherine MacFee takes us back to the picturesque countryside of Stone-cum-Ebony, Ashford, Kent in the 1920s. The scene is a tranquil and idyllic one, showcasing the beauty of rural life during that era. In this snapshot, we see a serene pond nestled amidst lush green pastures. A pair of sheep leisurely lie beside the water's edge, enjoying the peacefulness of their surroundings. Beyond them, two horse-drawn carts can be spotted in a nearby field - a testament to the traditional mode of transport prevalent at that time. The location itself holds historical significance as it was situated approximately 85 meters northwest from Luckhurst farmhouse on Lower Road. This charming spot served as an oasis for both humans and animals alike. Katherine MacFee skillfully captures the essence of this rural landscape with her lens. Her photograph transports us back in time and allows us to appreciate the simplicity and harmony between nature and man-made elements such as horse-drawn carts. This print serves as a visual reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and offers a glimpse into a bygone era where livestock roamed freely across vast open fields. It invites viewers to pause for a moment and reflect upon the timeless beauty found within our natural landscapes.
