EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by John Gay transports us to a serene and idyllic scene along a wooded riverbank. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the majestic tree trunks that dominate the foreground, their weathered bark telling tales of time gone by. Beyond them lies a calm stretch of river, its glassy surface reflecting the beauty of its surroundings with remarkable clarity. In this picturesque landscape, we can almost feel the tranquility emanating from every element captured in the frame. The lush green field stretches out before us, inviting us to step into its embrace and lose ourselves in nature's embrace. Rising gently behind it is a hillside woodland, cloaked in shades of emerald and moss as if guarding secrets within. It is believed that this enchanting photograph showcases none other than the River Barle near Tarr Steps clapper bridge in West Somerset. Dating back between 1955-1965, it serves as both an exquisite snapshot frozen in time and a testament to John Gay's skillful eye for capturing rural landscapes. As we admire this work of art from Historic England's collection, let us allow ourselves to be transported back through decades past - where simplicity reigned supreme and nature provided solace amidst life's chaos.
