EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Dunster, a picturesque village nestled in West Somerset, Somerset. The scene showcases a quaint lane adorned with charming cottages and surrounded by lush greenery. On the left side of the road stands a delightful low thatched cottage, its unique roof adding to its undeniable charm. Five upper storey windows peek through the thatch, offering glimpses into the cozy interior. As our gaze shifts to the right side of the road, we encounter an intriguing figure - a man standing attentively before this idyllic abode. Clutching a walking cane in his right hand and casually placing his left hand inside his coat pocket, he seems captivated by the cottage's allure. His presence adds depth to this already enchanting composition. The lane itself is framed by overhanging trees on both sides, creating an intimate atmosphere as dappled sunlight filters through their branches. This ethereal play of light and shadow enhances the overall beauty of this timeless scene. E M Booty skillfully captured not only architectural details but also human presence within this photograph. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to experience Dunster's tranquil ambiance and appreciate its rich history. This remarkable print from Historic England invites us to immerse ourselves in Dunster's past while celebrating its enduring beauty – an exquisite blend of nature and architecture harmoniously coexisting for generations to come.
