EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Wimbledon Common and its iconic windmill, dating back to around 1900. The image showcases a picturesque landscape with the majestic windmill standing tall in the distance, against a backdrop of lush greenery. The century-old structure was built by Charles March, a skilled carpenter from Roehampton, who obtained permission for its construction in 1816. The photograph provides a glimpse into London's rich history and cultural heritage. It is reminiscent of an era when literature flourished, as it is featured in Sir Walter Besant's book "South of the Thames". This artistic portrayal transports viewers back to early 20th-century Britain, evoking feelings of nostalgia and wonder. In this snapshot frozen in time, people can be seen enjoying their day outdoors on Wimbledon Common. Their presence adds depth and perspective to the composition while emphasizing the park's popularity among locals during that period. With its monochrome aesthetic and meticulous attention to detail, this print offers a unique glimpse into British life at the turn of the century. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity through Charles March's craftsmanship and an ode to nature's enduring beauty found within Wimbledon Common.
