EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting streets of Henley-on-Thames, South Oxfordshire, in the year 1890. The lens of Henry Taunt skillfully captures a bustling scene on Bell Street, as we gaze towards it from Hart Street. Our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent drinking fountain that stands proudly on the left side of the frame. This Victorian masterpiece, constructed in 1885, is crafted with exquisite porphyry and stone materials and features a charming short crocketed spire. As we explore this snapshot of history, our attention shifts to the vibrant street scene unfolding before us. The hustle and bustle is evident as pedestrians traverse along the pavements while horse-drawn carts gracefully make their way through the cobbled streets. The shops lining both sides of Bell Street exude an air of old-world charm, inviting passersby to step inside and discover what treasures lie within. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the thriving retail businesses that once flourished here. It offers us a glimpse into everyday life during this era – where shopkeepers diligently attended to their customers' needs while locals went about their daily routines. Henry Taunt's remarkable talent allows us to travel back over a century ago and immerse ourselves in this picturesque slice of history. As we admire every intricate detail captured within this image, we can't help but feel grateful for these glimpses into our past that allow us
