EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Ballymena, a charming town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, as it appeared in the 1920s. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of Victorian and Edwardian elegance. The image captures the bustling town center, where horse-drawn carriages and motorcars share the cobblestone streets with pedestrians. The town's architecture is a delightful blend of old and new, with traditional stone buildings standing proudly alongside modern structures. At the heart of the scene, a lantern slide shop beckons passersby, its windows displaying an array of intricately designed glass slides. This was a common sight in the early 20th century, as lantern slides were a popular form of entertainment and education before the widespread use of film projectors. The townspeople, dressed in their finest attire, go about their daily business, oblivious to the camera's watchful eye. Children play in the streets, while men in suits and women in elegant dresses make their way to the shops or the local market. The atmosphere is one of community and vibrancy, as the people of Ballymena go about their lives in this quaint Irish town. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the history and charm of Ballymena during the 1920s.
