EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian glass lantern slide presents a breathtaking view of Ivybridge in Devon, Western England, during the late 1890s. The scene unfolds along the banks of the serene River Erme, where the crystal-clear water meanders through lush greenery and quaint stone cottages. The picturesque town of Ivybridge is nestled in the valley, with its historic bridge arching gracefully over the river. The Victorian era, known for its fascination with the natural world and the picturesque, is beautifully captured in this lantern slide. The intricate details of the scene, from the textures of the ivy-covered cottages to the ripples on the river's surface, are rendered with remarkable clarity and precision. The muted colors of the autumnal foliage and the soft, ethereal quality of the lantern slide's glass add to the dreamlike quality of the image. The Boswell Collection, from which this slide is taken, is a valuable historical resource that documents the scenic beauty of Devon during the late 19th century. This particular slide, titled "Ivybridge - View on the River Erme," provides a glimpse into the past and offers a window into the quintessential English countryside of yesteryears. The lantern slide not only serves as an aesthetic pleasure but also as a historical record, offering insights into the social, cultural, and environmental conditions of the time.
