EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Wells Market Cross MCF01_02_1250" takes us back in time to the early 20th century in Wells, Somerset. The image beautifully captures a bustling scene in the historic Market Place, with its iconic Georgian architecture and charming market cross as the focal point. As we gaze upon this snapshot of history, our eyes are drawn to the vibrant display of Union Jack flags and bunting adorning the buildings. It is evident that a festive atmosphere fills the air, perhaps celebrating a significant event or national holiday. Pedestrians gracefully traverse through the busy streets, their presence adding life and movement to an otherwise still frame. The architectural details of each house and shop tell stories of their own - from ornate facades to quaint storefronts displaying goods for sale. This glimpse into Edwardian-era England offers a fascinating insight into daily life during this period. Katherine MacFee's skilled lens has captured not only an exquisite moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how communities come together to celebrate shared values and traditions. Through her lens, we are transported back over a century ago when Wells' Market Place was alive with activity and pride. This remarkable print serves as both a visual feast for our senses and an invaluable historical document that allows us to appreciate the rich heritage of this enchanting town.
