EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around 1890, showcases the picturesque scene of the River Thames at Whitchurch near Pangbourne in Oxfordshire. The image, captured from the toll bridge, offers a tranquil view across the Mill Pond, with its calm, reflective surface mirroring the red-brick cottages that line the water's edge. The old mill, just out of shot to the left, adds to the historic charm of the scene. At the heart of the image, the tower of St Mary's church stands proudly, its Gothic architecture a striking contrast against the pastoral backdrop. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the lush greenery that surrounds the scene, with trees and vegetation providing a beautiful frame for this idyllic riverside setting. This photograph was produced using the Photochrom process, a popular method for creating colourised images during the late 1800s. The result is a vibrant, detailed representation of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a simpler, more peaceful moment in history. The photograph's rich, authentic colours and intricate details make it an exquisite addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring beauty of the English countryside.
