EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian-era photograph, titled "Prince Charlie's Cave, Portree, Isle of Skye," transports us back in time to the early 1900s. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the enchanting beauty of Prince Charlie's Cave located in Portree, Isle of Skye, Scotland. The photograph features a young man, believed to be the Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Jacobite claimant to the British throne, who famously hid in the cave during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745. Although there is no definitive evidence that the prince actually stayed in this cave, the legend has persisted, adding to its allure. The scene is set against a backdrop of the rugged, picturesque coastline of the Isle of Skye. The cave, with its arched entrance and illuminated interior, appears inviting and mysterious. A lantern, likely held by the photographer or a companion, casts a warm, golden glow on the cave walls, highlighting the intricate details of the rock formations. The photograph is a testament to the romanticism of the Victorian era, with its emphasis on the picturesque and the past. The young man, dressed in Edwardian-era attire, adds a touch of nostalgia and intrigue to the image. The overall effect is one of wonder and adventure, inviting us to imagine the stories and legends that lie within the walls of Prince Charlie's Cave.
