EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a beautiful fountain nestled in the heart of Cockermouth, Cumbria. Standing tall and proud, it serves as a poignant memorial to two revered poets - William and Dorothy Wordsworth. The image transports us back to the 19th century when an English photographer skillfully captured this scene for The Illustrated London News in April 1896. With its intricate details and impeccable composition, it is evident that this photograph holds great historical significance. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear the gentle trickle of water cascading down from the fountain's ornate structure. It is a symbol of remembrance, honoring not only William Wordsworth but also his beloved sister Dorothy. Cockermouth itself becomes alive through this image; its charm emanates from every corner. The town's rich history intertwines with nature's beauty as captured by the lens of an artist who sought to preserve these moments forever. In our fast-paced world, where memories often fade away like whispers on the wind, photographs like these become invaluable treasures. They allow us to pause and reflect on those who came before us - their words echoing through time just as surely as water flows through this enduring fountain. This remarkable print reminds us that even in stillness there is movement – a testament to how art has the power to transcend time and connect generations across centuries
