EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a serene summer day in Bourton-on-the-Water, August 1924. The image showcases an idyllic view along the picturesque River Windrush, where a herd of cattle peacefully graze on lush green pastures. The exact location remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this timeless snapshot. In this scene straight out of a bygone era, we witness the harmonious coexistence between man and beast. A farmer with weathered hands skillfully guides his trusty horse and cart as he herds the cows along. His presence exudes wisdom and experience gained through years spent tending to these gentle creatures. The charm of rural Gloucestershire is palpable in every detail captured within this photograph. From the rolling hills that embrace the riverbanks to the quaint stone bridges that span its waters, it's easy to see why Bourton-on-the-Water has become known as "the Venice of the Cotswolds". Transporting us back nearly a century ago, this image allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also how integral agriculture was in shaping communities during those times. It serves as a poignant reminder of our connection with both land and animals—a connection that continues to shape our world today. As we gaze upon this vintage print, let us reflect on simpler times when life moved at a slower pace; where farmers worked hand-in-hand with their loyal companions amidst breathtaking landscapes
