EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the charming town of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire. The image captures a picturesque scene at the south end of the Market Square, where two motor cars are parked next to the iconic Market Cross. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the 1920s, we can't help but be transported to an era filled with nostalgia and wonder. The composition beautifully showcases the harmonious blend of history and modernity that defines Stow-on-the-Wold. The Market Cross stands proudly as a symbol of tradition and community, while houses and shops line the streets, adding vibrancy to this bustling market town. The presence of these early automobiles adds an intriguing layer to the photograph. They represent a significant shift in transportation during that period, marking a transition from horse-drawn carriages to motorized vehicles. These cars become silent witnesses to progress and change within society. MacFee's skillful eye captures every detail with precision - from architectural elements like windows adorned with flower boxes, to intricate shop signs hanging above doorways. Each element contributes to creating a vivid sense of place and time. As we admire this remarkable piece of history through MacFee's lens, we are reminded once again why preserving our past is so important. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical record for future generations
