EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the statue of King William III, also known as William of Orange, stands proudly overlooking Brixham Harbour in Devon, England. Dressed in his regal attire, the monarch gazes out to sea, commemorating the historic event that took place nearby over three centuries ago. The year was 1688, and William had landed at Brixham with his army to claim the English throne, marking the end of the Catholic rule of King James II and the beginning of the Protestant reign. The scene unfolds as a picturesque summer day, with holidaymakers enjoying the sunshine and the tranquil harbour. The children play near the water's edge, while adults relax on blankets, soaking up the sun and the serene atmosphere. A bin and a discarded piece of litter are visible in the foreground, adding a touch of reality to the idyllic setting. The photograph, taken in the 1960s, captures the essence of a bygone era. The black-and-white film adds a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a simpler time when the past and the present intertwined. King William III's statue continues to stand as a testament to the rich history of England and the enduring significance of the events that shaped its future. The image serves as a reminder of the past, while the people and their activities in the foreground bring the present to life, creating a captivating juxtaposition.
