EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Rex Wailes, we are transported back to the 1960s at Henley Mill in Bitterley, Shropshire. The image showcases a miller and his feline companion, creating an endearing snapshot of their unique bond. Standing proudly outside the rustic Henley Mill, the miller exudes a sense of contentment as he cradles his beloved cat in his arms. The warmth between them is palpable, evident in the gentle curve of their bodies and the tender expression on both faces. It is a testament to the deep connection that can exist between humans and animals. The setting itself adds to the charm of this photograph; with its weathered wooden structure and traditional features, Henley Mill serves as an enchanting backdrop for this heartwarming scene. One can almost hear the rhythmic hum of machinery within its walls and imagine grains being transformed into flour through time-honored techniques. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions that transcend generations. It reminds us of our innate desire for companionship and how pets have always played an integral role in fulfilling that need. Rex Wailes' skillful composition allows us to glimpse into a simpler era while celebrating the timeless bond between humans and animals. This print serves as a delightful reminder that amidst technological advancements, some connections remain beautifully unchanged throughout history.
