EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Ralph Ponsonby Watts, a woman dressed in the height of 1920s fashion stands before an ancient round tower nestled in the picturesque Devon countryside. The woman's cloche hat, a symbol of the era's sleek and modern style, casts a shadow over her face as she gazes up at the towering, circular structure. The tower, with its weathered stone walls and arched windows, exudes a sense of history and mystery, standing proudly amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery of the rural landscape. The woman's elegant outfit, complete with a long, flowing dress and intricate beadwork, contrasts beautifully with the rugged, natural beauty of the countryside. The combination of the woman's fashionable attire and the historic tower creates a striking juxtaposition, highlighting the intersection of the past and the present. The round tower, a common architectural feature in the Devon countryside, dates back to medieval times. Its circular shape and tall, narrow design were once used as defensive structures, providing protection against invading forces. Today, it stands as a testament to the rich history of the region, attracting visitors from near and far who are drawn to its unique charm and intriguing past. As the woman's reflection is captured in the window of the tower, the photograph invites us to imagine the stories that lie within its walls. We can almost hear the whispers of the past, as the woman becomes a part of the history of this enchanting place. This image, with its blend of fashion, history, and natural beauty, is a true celebration of the Devon countryside and the enduring allure of the past.
