EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Welsh tradition during the Victorian era, as a local lady proudly dons her national costume. Dressed in a vibrant, intricately patterned gown, adorned with lace and ribbons, she embodies the rich cultural heritage of Wales. The Edwardian era, which followed the Victorian period, is also reflected in this image with the lady's high-necked blouse and voluminous skirt. The setting further enhances the scene, as the lady is depicted in a rustic, idyllic environment. A traditional spinning wheel and a lantern slide projector are present, suggesting the importance of domestic industries and the preservation of folklore and storytelling. The lantern slide projector, an early form of visual entertainment, adds a touch of vintage charm to the image. The Welsh national costume, with its distinctive features such as the tall hat, or 'gwyniad,' and the long, flowing apron, has been passed down through generations. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the strong connection between the people of Wales and their proud cultural heritage. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is an extensive and valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the social history of Wales and the Victorian era. This image, in particular, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and traditions of the Welsh people during this time.
