EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Hart Street in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, as it appeared in 1890. The view looks down the winding street towards the striking St Mary's Church, with its distinctive flint and stone chequer-patterned church tower and polygonal angle buttresses, dating back to the 16th century. The tower's intricate design and the warm hues of the stonework create a captivating contrast against the clear blue sky. To the right of the image, a row of timber-framed townhouses with dormer windows can be seen. Their charming facades, adorned with intricate woodwork and colorful tiles, reflect the Victorian era's architectural elegance. The cobblestone street, lined with trees and dotted with horse-drawn carriages, adds to the quaint atmosphere of this historic English town. The photograph was captured by Henry W. Taunt, a skilled Victorian-era photographer, who expertly documented the beauty and charm of Henley-on-Thames. His meticulous attention to detail and mastery of the photographic process bring this moment in time to life, allowing us to experience the allure of this charming English town over a century later.
