EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee, titled "Covered wagon MCF01_02_1418" takes us back in time to the early 1900s in Frensham, Waverley, Surrey. The image captures a picturesque scene on Mill Bridge, where a covered horse-drawn wagon gracefully crosses the bridge's sturdy structure. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details of the wagon – its weathered wooden panels and robust wheels that have traversed many miles. In perfect harmony with this nostalgic setting is a woman walking along the pavement nearby. Her presence adds an element of human connection amidst the rustic charm of horse-drawn transport. We can only wonder about her story and what she might be thinking as she witnesses this everyday occurrence. The photograph evokes a sense of tranquility and simplicity that seems worlds away from our fast-paced modern lives. It reminds us of an era when transportation relied on horsepower rather than engines and when bridges like Mill Bridge were essential lifelines connecting communities. Katherine MacFee's expert composition transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty of this particular moment but also gain insight into how people lived during that period. This print serves as a precious window into history – one that invites contemplation and sparks curiosity about life in early 20th-century England.
