EDITORS COMMENTS
"Willy Lott's Cottage, located in the quaint village of Flatford in East Bergholt, Suffolk, is a charming and historic thatched-roof building that has captured the hearts of art lovers for generations. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, provides a glimpse into the past and offers a glimpse of how the cottage looked before it became a popular tourist attraction. The cottage gained international fame when it was featured in John Constable's iconic painting, "The Hay Wain," which was completed in 1821. The painting, which is now housed in the National Gallery in London, depicts a idyllic scene of Willy Lott's Cottage surrounded by the lush greenery of the meadows and the tranquil waters of the River Stour. Constable's painting, which celebrates the beauty of the English countryside, has become one of the most famous and beloved works of art in the world. It has inspired countless artists, writers, and visitors to make the pilgrimage to Flatford to see the cottage and the landscape that inspired Constable's masterpiece. Despite its fame, Willy Lott's Cottage remains a beloved and cherished part of the local community. It is still a private residence, and visitors are asked to respect the privacy of the current occupants. The cottage and its surroundings continue to inspire artists and visitors alike, and remain a testament to the enduring beauty and charm of the English countryside." This photograph is a rare and beautiful glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of Willy Lott's Cottage as it looked over a century ago.
