EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Peaceful Side-Street in Amersham, Buckinghamshire (1926) 2. Description: This photograph, dated 1926, transports us back in time to a quiet side-street in the picturesque town of Amersham, nestled in the heart of Buckinghamshire, England. The image, devoid of commercial use, showcases the tranquility and charm of the era, as horses and carts share the narrow cobblestone street with pedestrians. 3. Context: Amersham, a historic market town, was a popular destination for Londoners seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. The town's rich history dates back to the Roman occupation, and its charming architecture, combined with its proximity to the Metropolitan line, made it an ideal weekend retreat. 4. Composition: The photograph, taken from a vantage point at the end of the street, allows the viewer to appreciate the quaintness of the scene. The houses, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, are bathed in soft, natural light, while the trees lining the street add a sense of greenery and vitality. The horses and carts, a common mode of transportation during the era, add a touch of authenticity to the scene. 5. Significance: This photograph is a testament to the simpler times of the past, a time when life moved at a slower pace. It invites us to pause and reflect on the beauty of a quiet side-street in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, and the charm of a bygone era. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the English countryside and the timeless appeal of small-town living. 6. Provenance: This photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images available from Mary Evans Prints Online, a leading provider of high-quality, rights-managed images for use in a variety of media.
