EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this hand-tinted photograph of a slate train making its way through the picturesque village of Llanberis, Wales during the Victorian period. The vintage image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of early industrialization and the bustling quarries of Wales. The intricately detailed hand-tinting technique brings the scene to life, with the rich hues of the green landscape, the deep blue of the slate-laden wagons, and the red and white of the train's engine and carriages. The train, a symbol of progress and innovation during the late 1800s, winds its way through the village, leaving a trail of smoke in its wake. The quaint houses and cottages of Llanberis can be seen lining the banks of the lake, with the snow-capped peaks of the Welsh mountains in the background. The village, nestled at the foot of the mountains, was once a hub of activity for the slate industry, with the quarries providing employment for many local residents. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the daily life and industry of the Welsh people during the Edwardian era. The lantern slide, a popular form of visual entertainment during the late 1800s and early 1900s, would have been projected onto a screen for audiences to marvel at the beauty and wonder of this hand-tinted image. Today, it serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Wales and the industrial revolution.
