EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph from the Victorian era, captured on Honister Pass in the Lake District during the late 19th century. The serene beauty of the landscape is contrasted by the bustling activity of tourists, eager to explore the natural wonders of this picturesque region. Dressed in their finest Edwardian attire, the tourists pose for a photograph, some seated in a horse-drawn coach, while others cycle alongside, their bicycles a testament to the emerging trend of active travel. The vintage lantern slide, a popular means of projecting images during this era, adds an intriguing layer of history to the scene. The rugged terrain of Honister Pass, with its winding roads and breathtaking vistas, was a favorite destination for visitors seeking adventure and relaxation. The passage of time is evident in the contrast between the timeless landscape and the fashionable clothing of the tourists, who seem to have stepped straight out of a bygone era. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travel was an adventure, and the natural world was a source of inspiration and wonder. Let this image serve as a reminder of the enduring allure of the Lake District and the importance of preserving the rich history of our past.
