EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Whiteleaf cottages, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Buckinghamshire. Standing proudly along Upper Icknield Way, these three charming cottages exude a sense of history and tranquility. From left to right, we have Felix Cottage, Box Tree Cottage, and The Other Cottage (although only a portion is visible). Each cottage boasts its own unique character with their timber-framed Tudor architecture. The thatched roofs add an enchanting touch to these rural dwellings, evoking images of simpler times. What truly sets this image apart is the weatherboarded barn attached at the north end. Sadly, it has since been demolished; however, its presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of bygone days when agricultural activities thrived in this idyllic setting. The photographer's keen eye for detail showcases the vernacular architecture prevalent during the 1910s. Katherine MacFee skillfully captures not just buildings but also a way of life that has stood the test of time. As you gaze upon this stunning print, allow yourself to be transported back in time to an era where simplicity reigned supreme and nature provided solace from bustling city life. Let your imagination wander through these historic cottages and envision Library Cottage standing on what was once home to that beloved barn.
