EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph, captured by Joseph Green around 1895, portrays a group of jolly chaps enjoying a sunny afternoon on the River Thames at Caversham, Berkshire. The scene is set on Bridge Street, where the gentlemen, dressed in their Sunday best, are having a wonderful time in long rowing boats. Their laughter and joy are palpable as they engage in the popular pastime of 'bating' or punting, an activity that involved pushing off from the riverbank with a long pole and guiding the boat along the water. The serene setting, with the picturesque riverbank in the background, adds to the idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The men, some with their hats off and others with their collars unbuttoned, appear to be fully immersed in the pleasure of the moment. This photograph is a charming reminder of a simpler time, when the simple joys of nature and the company of friends were enough to bring happiness and enjoyment.
