EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Rufus Stone, Lyndhurst, New Forest" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a postcard sent on the 15th of September in 1913 by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown. Preserved within a private collection, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into the beauty of Lyndhurst, England. The focal point of the picture is Rufus Stone itself – an ancient monument that holds great significance in British history. Legend has it that this very spot marks the place where King William II (also known as William Rufus) was fatally wounded while hunting in the New Forest. The stone stands tall amidst lush trees and verdant foliage, creating a serene atmosphere that transports viewers to another era. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also serves as a testament to scientific exploration during the early 20th century. With its mention of botany and natural history, it hints at how photography played an essential role in documenting various aspects of science. This particular print captures not only artistic beauty but also scientific methods employed by photographers like MZPhoto. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us appreciate both its historical value and artistic merit. It allows us to connect with our past while marveling at nature's wonders captured through photographic lenses over a century ago.
