EDITORS COMMENTS
Pont-y-Pair I, Bettws-y-Coed (i.e. Betws), Wales: A Picturesque and Nostalgic View from the Late Nineteenth Century This photograph, titled 'Pont-y-Pair I, Bettws-y-Coed (i.e. Betws), Wales,' is an evocative glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the late nineteenth century. The scene unfolds in the quaint village of Bettws-y-Coed, nestled in the Conwy Valley, Wales. The village, known for its stunning natural beauty and abundance of waterfalls, has long been a popular tourist destination. The photograph, dating between approximately 1890 and 1900, is a coloured, picture-postcard-perfect representation of the village. The image showcases the iconic stone bridge, Pont-y-Pair, spanning the River Llugwy. The bridge, with its arches and intricate stonework, adds a sense of history and charm to the scene. The bridge's name, 'Pont-y-Pair,' translates to 'bridge of the holes,' a reference to the natural holes in the riverbed that the bridge passes over. The photograph is further enhanced by the vibrant colours and the meticulous detail, achieved through the Photochrom process. The process, which was popular during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, involved hand-colouring photographs using a series of pigments. The result is a richly coloured image that brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of a bygone era. As we gaze upon this nostalgic view, we can almost hear the gentle sound of the river flowing beneath the bridge and feel the cool mist on our faces as we take in the breathtaking beauty of the Welsh countryside. This photograph is not only a visual delight but also a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to thrive in Bettws-y-Coed and Wales.
