EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of holidaymakers in the late 1880s, as they embark on a memorable trip aboard a horse-drawn stagecoach. Taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The stagecoach route between Barnstaple and Woolacombe Sands served as the backdrop for this snapshot in time. It showcases a group of cheerful trippers, eagerly anticipating their seaside excursion. The four-in-hand coach stands proudly, ready to transport these Victorian holidaymakers to their destination. As we delve into the details of this photograph, we are transported back to an era when beach trips were cherished moments filled with joy and adventure. The portrait-like quality adds depth and character to each individual captured within the frame. Intriguingly, this image also hints at public baths nearby, suggesting that relaxation and rejuvenation were integral parts of these holidays. The transportation itself becomes an object of fascination - an embodiment of British history and culture. With its timeless charm and historical significance, this photograph serves as a window into England's North Devon region during its heyday as a popular holiday destination. As we gaze upon it today, we cannot help but be captivated by the nostalgia it evokes – reminding us that even in our modern world, there is still magic to be found in capturing memories through photography.
