Ilfracombe, Capstone Parade in the 1870s - A Glimpse into Victorian Holidaymakers' Delight
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Francis Bedford takes us back to the enchanting coastal town of Ilfracombe in the 1870s. The image showcases Capstone Parade, a popular promenade that attracted countless tourists during the Victorian era. In this snapshot of history, we witness a bustling scene filled with men, women, and children leisurely strolling along the cliffside promenade. Dressed in their finest attire, these holidaymakers exude an air of elegance and sophistication as they enjoy their vacation by the sea. The fashion trends of the time are on full display - women donning long dresses adorned with parasols to shield themselves from the sun's rays while men sport stylish hats and suits. Lampposts line the street, casting a warm glow upon this picturesque landscape. As our eyes wander through this panoramic view captured by Bedford's lens, we can't help but be mesmerized by Ilfracombe's natural beauty. Majestic cliffs frame the horizon while waves crash against rocky shores below. This idyllic setting served as both a haven for relaxation and an inspiration for artists seeking scenic landscapes. Francis Bedford's photographic masterpiece not only transports us back to a simpler time but also serves as a testament to Ilfracombe's enduring charm. It is no wonder that this beloved seaside destination continues to captivate visitors
