EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, dated 1906, captures the quintessential Wessex scenery of Moreton in Dorset, a picturesque village that served as the model for Thomas Hardy's fictional village of Talbothays in his novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles." The image transports us back in time, with its idyllic thatched cottages nestled among rolling hills and verdant pastures. The village, shrouded in a gentle mist, exudes a sense of tranquility and timelessness. Hardy's novel, set in the late 19th century, explores themes of love, morality, and the harsh realities of rural life. The photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the world that inspired Hardy's literary masterpiece. The village of Moreton, with its charming beauty and rich history, continues to draw visitors from around the world, who come to experience the magic of Wessex and the enduring legacy of Thomas Hardy.
