EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Congleton Viaduct, situated in the picturesque county of Cheshire. The viaduct stands majestically against a backdrop of sprawling agricultural land, showcasing the harmonious coexistence between man-made structures and nature's bounty. As if frozen in time, a train gracefully traverses the viaduct, adding a touch of movement to this serene rural scene. Eric de Mare, an acclaimed photographer active from 1945 to 1980, skillfully captured the essence of this iconic landmark. His lens perfectly frames the viaduct as it stretches across the landscape like a graceful giant connecting distant horizons. The architectural marvel is testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess. The surrounding arable fields exude tranquility and fertility with their lush greenery and neatly cultivated crops. A solitary tree stands tall amidst these fields, providing shade for weary farmers during hot summer days while also adding an element of natural beauty to this idyllic countryside setting. This print by Eric de Mare serves as a visual reminder that even in our modern world dominated by technology and urbanization, there are still pockets of untouched rural charm waiting to be discovered. It invites us to appreciate both our historical heritage and the enduring allure of nature's creations.
