Country Life

The way we were Photograph­s from the Country Life archive

1907 October 26

An almsman reads in the Hospital of Saints John the Baptist and John the Evangelist, Sherborne, Dorset. He appears immersed in his book, although the scene is probably staged. The fall of light echoes the aesthetic of 17th-century Dutch painting that inspired the magazine’s early photograph­y. The caption simply read: ‘Peace within the walls.’

Every week for the past 125 years, COUNTRY LIFE has documented and photograph­ed many walks of life in Britain. More than 80,000 of the images are available for syndicatio­n or purchase in digital format. To view the archives, visit
