EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "Right of Way" captured by John Ritchie in the late 19th century, we are transported back to a time when the fight for open spaces was at its peak. The image, now part of Haynes Fine Art's collection at the Bindery Galleries in Broadway, showcases a powerful moment of protest and revolt. The scene unfolds with a group of determined individuals standing before an imposing barrier on what appears to be a public footpath or common land. Armed with hammers and unwavering determination, they challenge the notion of trespassing as they demand their right to access these shared spaces freely. This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder that throughout history, people have fought tirelessly for their rights and freedoms. It symbolizes not only the physical barriers that divide us but also our collective spirit to overcome them. The composition exudes resilience and unity as each protester stands shoulder-to-shoulder against injustice. Ritchie's masterful capture freezes this pivotal moment in time, allowing us to reflect upon our own relationship with public spaces today. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from English history, it is impossible not to feel inspired by those who came before us – those who dared to challenge authority and pave the way for future generations seeking equality and justice.
