This print titled "Road near Selham, 1907" takes us on a nostalgic journey back in time. The image showcases a serene countryside road nestled within the picturesque village of Selham. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages and bicycles were the primary modes of transportation. The composition is framed by towering trees that gracefully line both sides of the road, creating a natural canopy overhead. Their lush green foliage adds depth and character to the scene, while also providing shade for weary travelers seeking respite from the sun's rays. The interplay between light and shadow casts enchanting patterns on the path below, hinting at hidden secrets waiting to be discovered. The absence of modern-day distractions allows us to appreciate the simplicity and tranquility that once defined life in rural West Sussex. It evokes a sense of peacefulness as we imagine strolling along this idyllic road, breathing in fresh country air and marveling at nature's beauty. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's Photographic Collection, this remarkable photograph offers us a glimpse into history—a testament to our shared heritage and how much has changed since those bygone days. It serves as a reminder that amidst our fast-paced lives today, there is still solace to be found in embracing nature's wonders and taking moments to reflect upon simpler times.
