EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step back in time with this Victorian-era photograph of Portree, a charming village nestled on the shores of Loch Portree on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. The image, taken during the late 1800s or early 1900s, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, traditional Scottish attire, and the romantic allure of the Highlands. The photograph captures the picturesque harbor, with its colorful houses and boats bobbing gently in the water. The village's quaintness is further accentuated by the presence of a Victorian-era lantern slide projector, which would have been used to create lantern slide shows for entertainment. The lantern, with its intricate design and ornate detailing, adds an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. The people in the photograph are dressed in their Sunday best, adding to the sense of occasion and importance of the moment. The women wear long, flowing skirts and high collars, while the men don tweed jackets and flat caps. The children, dressed in their finest clothes, play and frolic in the foreground, adding a touch of whimsy to the image. The landscape of Portree and the Isle of Skye has remained largely unchanged since this photograph was taken, making it a popular destination for tourists seeking a glimpse into the past. The village's Victorian-era charm continues to captivate visitors, who come to explore its narrow streets, colorful houses, and stunning natural beauty." This photograph, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into life in Portree during the Victorian era. The image is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, preserving the history and traditions of this enchanting Scottish village.
