EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the bustling market square of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire during the 1920s. The image captures a picturesque view looking north-east, where our attention is immediately drawn to a man and boy gracefully leading their horses towards the foreground. The horses' gentle strides create an atmosphere of tranquility amidst the lively market town. In the background, we catch sight of charming houses that exude timeless charm, with their stone facades standing proudly against the test of time. Nestled among these architectural gems is a set of stocks, serving as a reminder of days gone by when justice was dispensed publicly for all to witness. The composition beautifully balances both human and animal presence within this snapshot from history. It offers glimpses into daily life during this era - men tending to their trusty steeds while going about their business in the vibrant marketplace. Katherine MacFee's keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this scene, transporting us back almost a century ago. This print serves as a testament to Stow-on-the-Wold's enduring beauty and its rich heritage as an important market town within the Cotswolds region.
