EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Travelling Chair Mender and Pedlar with baskets near Witley, Surrey" transports us back in time to a simpler era. Captured by the talented artist Myles Birket Foster, this image showcases an idyllic English countryside scene. In the foreground of the photograph stands an itinerant chair-mender, his weathered face reflecting years of hard work and dedication to his craft. With a thick bundle of dried rushes or canes slung over his shoulder and a few tools at hand, he is ready to re-bottom or re-cane any worn-out chair that comes his way. Beside him sits a loyal canine companion, patiently observing as its master works diligently. A woman stands nearby, her hands skillfully weaving rush strands into intricate patterns on another chair. The couple's children play in the background, their laughter echoing through the rural landscape. The setting itself exudes tranquility - a charming cottage nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery. A wheelbarrow filled with chairs awaits repair while hanging baskets add touches of color to this picturesque scene. This Victorian-era snapshot offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when craftsmanship was valued and families worked together to make ends meet. It serves as a reminder of simpler times when life revolved around community connections and preserving cherished traditions. Displayed proudly at Haworth Art Gallery in Accrington, Lancashire, UK; this remarkable piece captures not only the essence of rural
