EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming photograph of Selsdon Village, located in the picturesque countryside of Surrey near Croydon, dating back to the early 1910s. The image captures the essence of rural England during the 1910s, with its quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The winding lane, lined with tall hedges, leads the eye towards the quaint cottages and farmhouses that dot the landscape. In the foreground, a telegraph pole stands tall and proud, a reminder of the technological advancements of the time. The village appears untouched by the hustle and bustle of city life, offering a serene escape from the chaos of the modern world. The lush green fields and rolling hills provide a beautiful backdrop to the scene, inviting one to imagine the simple pleasures of rural living. This photograph is part of the Dürer Series, a collection of postcards published by an English company in the early 20th century. The series was named after the famous German artist Albrecht Dürer, known for his intricate woodcut prints. This particular postcard, with its stunning composition and attention to detail, would have been a cherished keepsake for those longing for a taste of the English countryside. Today, Selsdon Village remains a popular destination for those seeking a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The village's rich history and picturesque surroundings continue to captivate visitors, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in the beauty and charm of rural England.
