EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the banks of the River Thames near Sonning, Berkshire, in 1885. The image captures a serene moment on the towpath as a man stands proudly with two baskets in hand. His figure is perfectly framed against the picturesque backdrop of an eighteenth-century bridge, which gracefully spans across the river. Henry Taunt's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate both the natural beauty of this historic location and the simplicity of everyday life during Victorian times. The man's presence adds a touch of human interest to an otherwise tranquil scene, reminding us that this idyllic riverside setting was not only admired by visitors but also inhabited by hardworking individuals who relied on its resources. The composition beautifully showcases Taunt's mastery behind the lens, capturing every intricate detail from ripples on the water to textures within each basket. This print serves as a testament to his talent as one of England's most renowned photographers during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history preserved through Taunt's lens, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace along these very banks. It reminds us how important it is to cherish our heritage and appreciate those who have captured it so skillfully for future generations to admire.
