EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Katherine MacFee takes us back to the enchanting village of Wootton Rivers in Wiltshire during the 1920s. The image showcases a picturesque thatched cottage, nestled amidst a beautifully landscaped garden. As we follow the path leading up to the cottage, we are immediately drawn into its charm and tranquility. Intriguingly, MacFee's attention to detail is evident as she captures an interesting element within this scene. In her negative index for the collection, she notes sailor semaphore left, suggesting a connection to maritime communication. And upon closer inspection, one cannot miss noticing figures perched in a crows nest at the top left corner of the photograph, holding aloft a flag. This whimsical addition adds an air of mystery and adventure to an otherwise idyllic countryside setting. MacFee's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the architectural beauty of this traditional English cottage and its surrounding natural splendor. The thatched roof exudes rustic charm while vibrant flowers bloom abundantly in carefully tended beds. It is truly a sight that transports us back in time and evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler days gone by. Through this remarkable photo print, Katherine MacFee invites us on a visual journey through history - capturing not only physical structures but also intangible elements such as stories untold and moments frozen in time forevermore.
