EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as a woman stands in quiet contemplation beside the ancient Shambles Oak in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire. Known as Robin Hood's Larder, this majestic tree once stood as a symbol of the legendary outlaw's connection to the forest. The image, taken by Alfred Newton and Son in 1908, offers a glimpse into the past, before the unfortunate events that befell the tree. The Shambles Oak, also known as the Major Oak, was a renowned yew tree located in Edwinstowe, Sherwood Forest. Its gnarled and twisted trunk, estimated to be over 1,000 years old, was a popular tourist attraction and a source of local legend. However, in 1913, the tree was set on fire by careless picnickers, and despite efforts to save it, it eventually succumbed to its injuries and blew down in 1962. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a poignant reminder of the tree's former grandeur and the importance of preserving the natural wonders of our past. The image, taken by the skilled photographers at Alfred Newton and Son, beautifully captures the ethereal quality of the forest and the woman's connection to this ancient and storied tree. As we stand in awe of this image, we are transported back in time, to an era of enchantment and wonder, where the legends of Robin Hood and his Merry Men lived on in the hearts and minds of the people. This photograph is not only a testament to the beauty of nature, but also to the power of storytelling and the enduring allure of the past.
