EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the sign of the White Horse" takes us back in time to the early 1910s, capturing a picturesque scene outside The White Horse pub in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire. The image showcases a horse-drawn cart parked right in front of this charming establishment, its wooden wheels resting on the cobblestone road. The cart is heavily laden with sacks, hinting at a bustling trade or perhaps an important delivery taking place. As we zoom into the frame, our attention is drawn to the magnificent carthorse standing patiently beside it. With its sleek coat and strong build, it exudes power and grace. Intriguingly, nestled within this nostalgic snapshot is a heartwarming moment as we witness the horse bending down to drink from a trough nearby. This simple act of quenching its thirst amidst daily duties adds an endearing touch to this already enchanting composition. Katherine MacFee's skillful lens captures not just an architectural gem but also breathes life into history itself. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand how horse-drawn transport played an integral role in everyday life during that era. This evocative photograph serves as both a testament to our rich heritage and a reminder of simpler times when pubs like The White Horse were vibrant social hubs where locals gathered for camaraderie and refreshment after long days of work.
