EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing a picturesque scene of Cheddar Gorge in Somerset. The image showcases the breathtaking rural landscape and highlights the magnificent limestone gorge that cuts through the Mendip Hills. In this particular shot, our attention is drawn towards three Edwardian women leisurely strolling along the road that winds its way through Cheddar Gorge. Their presence adds a touch of elegance and nostalgia to an already stunning setting. Dressed in their fashionable attire of the era, they seem immersed in conversation as they take in the natural beauty surrounding them. Cheddar Gorge itself stands tall and proud, showcasing its rugged cliffs made of carboniferous limestone. This geological wonder has attracted sightseers for centuries, offering a unique experience for those who embark on walking holidays or simply seek solace amidst nature's splendor. Katherine MacFee's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of Cheddar Gorge and the charm exuded by these Edwardian women exploring it. As we gaze upon this timeless photograph, we are transported back to an era when life moved at a slower pace, where people found joy in simple pleasures such as taking leisurely walks through awe-inspiring landscapes like this one. This print serves as a reminder of how history intertwines with nature, leaving us with a sense of wonderment and appreciation for both past and present.
