EDITORS COMMENTS
A Moment of Reflection by the River Teign: A Schoolgirl's Afternoon at Fingle Bridge, Dartmoor National Park, Devon, 1974 This evocative photograph captures the essence of childhood innocence and the beauty of nature. Taken in 1974, the image features a young girl in a red jumper and gingham dress, her plaited hair casually falling over one shoulder. She stands leaningly by a tree, her gaze fixed on the crystal-clear waters of the River Teign below, where it flows gently under the historic 17th-century Fingle Bridge. The listed packhorse bridge, with its distinctive ashlar arches and pier, adds a sense of timelessness to the scene. The bridge, located near Drewsteignton in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, has stood the test of time, bearing the weight of packhorses and carts for centuries. The girl's red cardigan, pulled tightly around her shoulders, suggests a chill in the autumnal air. The sun casts dappled light through the tree canopy, creating a scene that is both serene and invigorating. The girl's expression is one of quiet contemplation, as if she is lost in thought or simply enjoying the simple pleasures of nature. The photograph, taken in the 1970s, transports us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the beauty of the natural world was a constant source of inspiration and wonder. Whether you're a fan of the countryside, history, or just the simple joy of childhood memories, this image is a must-have for any collection.
