EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, capturing the essence of William Wordsworth's English poet home from 1811 to 1813 - The Old Rectory. Sadly, this historical gem was demolished in the late 1890s, making this image even more precious. The scene depicts a charming white house surrounded by a lush garden adorned with vibrant shrubs, bushes, and towering trees. It is evident that nature played an important role in inspiring Wordsworth's poetry as we can imagine him strolling through these very grounds seeking solace and inspiration for his literary masterpieces. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world where history comes alive. We can almost hear the rustling of leaves and feel the gentle breeze that once caressed these now vanished walls. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how fleeting our existence is and how impermanent even our most cherished places can be. Let us cherish this glimpse into Wordsworth's past; let it remind us of the power of words to transcend time and touch souls across generations. May it inspire us to seek beauty in nature just as he did during his time at The Old Rectory all those years ago.
