EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing a horse and cart making their way over the sands at Holy Island (Lindisfarne) during low tide. In the distance, a solitary car can be seen, highlighting the stark contrast between traditional and modern modes of transport. The remote and historical significance of this location is palpable, as viewers are transported back to 1939 when this image was captured. The three-mile journey from the mainland to Holy Island was not for the faint of heart, especially considering that it could only be attempted twice daily due to the changing tides. The horse-drawn cart symbolizes a bygone era when such methods of transportation were commonplace. The presence of the car in the background serves as a reminder of progress and technological advancements that have since taken place. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of the rich history and heritage that surrounds Lindisfarne. The daily ritual of crossing over to Holy Island speaks to a simpler time when life moved at a slower pace and nature dictated our schedules. This print is not just an image but a window into another world—one filled with mystery, beauty, and nostalgia. It invites us to reflect on how far we've come while honoring the traditions that have shaped our past.
