EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Patrick Street in Cork, Ireland, circa 1900s. The vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, gas lamps, and Victorian elegance. Patrick Street, the main thoroughfare of Cork City, is bustling with activity. People dressed in Edwardian attire go about their daily business, some carrying bundles or pushing prams. The cobblestone street is lined with shops, their windows displaying an array of goods. A horse-drawn carriage, its driver in a top hat, makes its way through the crowd, adding to the scene's charm. In the foreground, a street vendor sells apples from a barrel, while a man in a long coat and bowler hat walks past, deep in thought. The gas lamps on either side of the street cast a warm, inviting glow, illuminating the street and the people on it. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the charm and character of Cork City during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during this time, captures every detail, from the intricate patterns on the shop windows to the expressions on the faces of the people. This photograph is not only a visual delight but also a historical document, providing valuable insights into the daily life of Cork City during a bygone era. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Patrick Street in the 1900s, making it a cherished piece of Irish history.
