EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to Ascot Sunday on the River Thames in 1908 with this photo print. The early morning scene outside Boulter's Lock is a snapshot of leisurely boating and social gatherings along the historic river. Boats line up, patiently waiting their turn to pass through the lock, while people dressed in their Sunday best enjoy the gala atmosphere. The charm of this image lies in its simplicity - a peaceful moment captured before the hustle and bustle of modern life took over. It transports us to a bygone era where weekends were spent on the water, soaking up the sun and enjoying each other's company. As we gaze at this scene from over a century ago, we can almost hear the laughter and chatter of those who gathered for Ascot Sunday. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, some traditions remain timeless - like spending quality time with loved ones in nature's embrace. This print is not just a visual treat but also a window into history, offering us a glimpse of how our ancestors found joy and relaxation in simple pleasures. Let it inspire you to slow down, savor moments with friends and family, and appreciate the beauty of nature all around us.
