Arthur Bell Nicholls, 1867: A Glimpse into the Past through a Victorian Lantern Slide This image is a vintage lantern slide featuring Arthur Bell Nicholls, taken in the year 1867. The photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique window into the past. Arthur Bell Nicholls, born on March 15, 1821, was an English clergyman and the husband of Anne Brontë, the third sister of the renowned Bronte sisters, Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. Anne's tragic death in 1849 left Arthur a widower at the young age of 28, and he went on to marry Elizabeth Sutherland in 1853. This photograph, taken over a decade after Anne's passing, captures Arthur Bell Nicholls in his late 40s. He is dressed in the formal attire of the time, with a neatly trimmed beard and a serious expression. The photograph's sepia tone adds to the antiquated feel, transporting us back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Lantern slides like this one were popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries for entertainment and educational purposes. They were projected using a magic lantern, an early form of a projector, and provided a way for people to view and share images that were otherwise difficult to obtain. This photograph of Arthur Bell Nicholls would have been a prized possession in a private collection, offering a glimpse into the life of a man connected to one of the most famous literary families in history. Today, this photograph serves as a reminder of the past, showcasing the history and traditions of a bygone era. It invites us to reflect on the lives of those who came before us and the stories they left behind.
