EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts Ellen Nussey (1817-1890), a dear friend and confidante of the Brontë sisters, Charlotte, Anne, and Emily, during the Victorian period. The photograph, taken in the early Edwardian era, captures Ellen in her elegant attire, with a thoughtful expression and a book in hand, reflecting her deep literary connections. The scene is set in the picturesque village of Haworth, Yorkshire, England, where the Brontë sisters penned their literary masterpieces, including "Jane Eyre," "Against the Wind," and "Wuthering Heights." The backdrop of the image includes the distinctive silhouette of the local parish church and the moors, which served as an endless source of inspiration for the sisters' works. Ellen Nussey, who was also a close friend of the Reverend Patrick Brontë, the sisters' father, was a significant figure in the literary world of the time. She played a crucial role in promoting the works of the Brontë sisters, acting as their literary agent and editor, and even helping to secure the publication of their novels. Her friendship with the sisters lasted throughout their lives, and her correspondence with Charlotte, in particular, provides invaluable insights into the lives and works of these literary giants. This evocative lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back to a time when the written word held the power to captivate and inspire, and the lives of the Brontë sisters were intertwined with the moors and the parish of Haworth.
