EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the picturesque town of Sherborne in 1939. The focus of the image is undoubtedly the iconic Plume Of Feathers Hotel, standing proudly on Half Moon Street. Its charming architecture, listed as Grade II, serves as a testament to its historical significance and enduring beauty. However, it is not just the hotel that catches our attention. In the foreground sits a sleek sports car with an intriguing passenger - a gentleman who seems engrossed in his thoughts or perhaps eagerly awaiting an adventure. What truly piques curiosity is the large bundle occupying the seat beside him. One can only wonder about its contents and their importance during this particular moment frozen in time. The photograph was expertly captured by Robin W McDowall in May 1939, showcasing his keen eye for detail and composition. McDowall's skillful use of motor transport signage adds another layer of authenticity to this nostalgic scene. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we are transported back to an era where elegance met simplicity and life seemed filled with endless possibilities. It reminds us that even amidst tumultuous times on the horizon (for it was just months before World War II broke out), there were still moments of tranquility and anticipation worth cherishing forever.
