EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing historical photograph, we witness an unusual scene unfolding on the tranquil waters of a lake. A dapper gent in a punt, dressed in formal attire, reaches out to grasp a woman who is clinging to a large bag. The woman, known as the Lady of the Lake, appears to be in a state of inebriation, with a bottle in hand that is now headed for the depths below. The man, with a determined expression on his face, skillfully hooks the woman's cloak with a billhook, lifting her out of the water. The Lady of the Lake, who is sodden and sopping wet, seems to be in a state of surprise and confusion as she is raised from the water. Her drunken state may have led her to take a dip in the lake, and the dunking may have had a sobering effect on her. The man in the punt, with a sense of relief and satisfaction, steadies her as she regains her composure. This image, which dates back to circa 1915, offers a glimpse into the past and the quirky antics that may have taken place on the shores of the lake. The historical context of this photograph is intriguing, as it raises questions about the role of the Lady of the Lake in local folklore and the relationship between the gentry and the common folk. The photograph also highlights the contrast between the dapper gent in his punt and the drunken old soak, adding an element of intrigue and amusement to the scene. Overall, this photograph is a fascinating snapshot of history, capturing a moment in time that is both humorous and intriguing.
