Mrs. Gaskell in 1851: A Glimpse into the Past This vintage lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures an intriguing image of Mrs. Charlotte Anne Gaskell, a prominent English novelist of the Victorian and early Edwardian eras. The photograph, taken in 1851, offers a rare glimpse into the life of this influential literary figure. Mrs. Gaskell, born in 1810 in Chelsea, London, is best known for her works of social realism, including "Mary Barton," "North and South," and "Wives and Daughters." Her novels often explored the lives of the working class and the social issues of her time. In this photograph, Mrs. Gaskell appears serious yet composed, with a thoughtful expression on her face. She is dressed in the fashion of the day, with a high collar and a modest, long-sleeved blouse. The background of the image reveals a quaint English landscape, possibly in Haworth, Yorkshire, where the Bronte sisters and their family, including the Reverend Patrick Bronte and their brother Branwell, resided. The connection between Mrs. Gaskell and the Brontes is significant, as she was a close friend of Charlotte Bronte and played a role in promoting her sister's work, including the publication of "Jane Eyre." The image of Mrs. Gaskell in 1851 offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a time when the literary world was shaped by the works of authors like Charlotte Bronte, Elizabeth Gaskell, and the other Brontes. The moors and parsonages of Yorkshire, the churches and the social issues of the time, all come to life through this photograph. A must-see for anyone with an interest in English literature, social history, or the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
