EDITORS COMMENTS
Ballyclare Baird's Pleasure Gardens, early 1900s: A Vintage Snapshot into Ireland's Past Step back in time with this enchanting image of Ballyclare Baird's Pleasure Gardens, captured in the early 1900s. This charming photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating glimpse into the past of Ballyclare, a small town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The Pleasure Gardens, a popular local attraction, were a place where people from all walks of life came to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The photograph reveals a bustling scene of laughter and joy, as families and friends gather around the mesmerizing spectacle of a lantern slide show. The large, ornate lantern, casting a warm, inviting glow, is the centerpiece of the gathering. The Edwardian era, during which this photograph was taken, was a time of great social change and progress in Ireland. The Victorian era, which preceded it, had seen the rise of industrialization and urbanization, while the Edwardian period was marked by a renewed focus on leisure and entertainment. The Pleasure Gardens, with their variety of attractions, including gardens, music, and performances, were a reflection of this cultural shift. The image also showcases the elegance and sophistication of the era, with the women dressed in their finest gowns and hats, and the men in suits and bowlers. The children, too, are dressed in their Sunday best, adding to the sense of occasion. This vintage photograph is a reminder of the rich history and traditions of Ballyclare and Ireland, and a testament to the enduring power of community and the simple pleasures of life.
