EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this image of a determined Victorian lady embarking on a daring climb up Great Gable in the Lake District. Dressed in her Edwardian finery, complete with a voluminous skirt and high-heeled boots, she defies the odds as she ascends the rugged mountain face. The early 20th century was a time when the pursuit of adventure and the exploration of nature were popular pastimes for the affluent classes. Great Gable, located in the English Lake District, has long been a favorite destination for climbers, drawing visitors from around the world with its challenging terrain and breathtaking views. In this photograph, taken during the Victorian era, we see a woman proving that gender was no barrier to experiencing the thrill of the climb. The Lake District, with its picturesque lakes, rolling hills, and dramatic mountains, has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and photographers for centuries. This image, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the great outdoors beckoned to those seeking adventure and the chance to push their limits. As we gaze upon this intrepid climber, we are reminded of the enduring appeal of the natural world and the human spirit's desire to conquer it. This vintage photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dared to climb Great Gable in the Victorian era.
