EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Stow Horse Fair" takes us back in time to the vibrant atmosphere of a bygone era. Captured by photographer Katherine MacFee, this image showcases a scene from the early 1920s at Fosse Way in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire. In this snapshot of history, we witness two majestic horses accompanied by their adorable colts being led along the bustling main road. The horses' powerful presence is juxtaposed with the men who guide them with care and expertise. These men are likely gypsies or travellers, as they were known to frequent horse fairs during that period. The Stow Horse Fair was renowned for its lively ambiance and served as a meeting point for traders and enthusiasts alike. It was an occasion where people gathered to showcase their prized equines while engaging in spirited negotiations or simply enjoying the spectacle. MacFee's composition beautifully captures both the grace of these magnificent creatures and the energy surrounding them. The timeless quality of this photograph allows us to immerse ourselves in a moment frozen in time – witnessing not only an important aspect of rural life but also gaining insight into social dynamics during that era. This remarkable print serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage, reminding us of traditions long past while offering glimpses into lives lived differently yet connected through shared experiences across generations.
