EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ilfracombe, 1898" takes us back to the enchanting seaside resort on the North Devon coast of England. The image showcases a picturesque landscape with rugged cliffs towering above a small harbor filled with sailboats. It is fascinating to learn that this very spot once played a significant role in history when it provided King John with ships and men for his invasion of Ireland in 1208. The photograph was featured in the book "Our Own Country, Volume III" published by Cassell and Company Ltd. in London, Paris, and Melbourne back in 1898. Its inclusion speaks volumes about Ilfracombe's allure as a tourist attraction during the late 19th century. The unknown creator of this engraving beautifully captures the essence of Ilfracombe's natural beauty and coastal charm. The background people add life to the scene while emphasizing its popularity among visitors at that time. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from over a century ago, we are transported to an era where sailing boats dominated these waters and literature painted vivid landscapes like this one. This print serves as both a window into our past and a reminder of how timeless destinations like Ilfracombe continue to captivate travelers today.
