EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage image of climbers tackling Deep Ghyll Pillar in the Lake District, England. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of adventure and exploration during the late Victorian or Edwardian period. Deep Ghyll Pillar, located in the heart of the Lake District, is a popular and challenging rock climb that has attracted adventurous souls for over a century. The towering pillar of smooth, gray limestone rises dramatically above the surrounding landscape, offering a thrilling ascent for those daring enough to attempt it. In this photograph, we see two climbers making their way up the pillar, their determined expressions etched on their faces as they focus intently on their next move. They are dressed in period clothing, with the man wearing a heavy woolen jumper and trousers, and the woman donning a long, flowing skirt and blouse. Both are wearing sturdy leather boots and harnesses, a testament to the serious nature of their endeavor. The scene is further enhanced by the use of a lantern slide, a photographic process popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lantern slide creates a warm, glowing light that illuminates the climbers and the pillar, adding to the sense of mystery and adventure. This photograph is a reminder of a time when the natural world was a source of inspiration and challenge, and when the simple act of climbing a rock face could be a life-changing experience. It invites us to appreciate the beauty of the Lake District and the determination of those who dared to explore it, and to cherish the memories of our own adventures, no matter how small they may seem in comparison.
