EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the year 1905 with this charming print from Holt's Battlefields Collection. The scene captures a two-horse carriage outside the London South Western Railway offices in Lynton, where hatted ladies are embarking on an exciting excursion. A poster on the wall advertises excursions by Sam Colwill, adding a touch of nostalgia to the image.
The driver beside the coach holds a whip with confidence, while a smartly dressed man with a velvet collar overcoat and flat hat may just be Sam himself. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as these elegant passengers prepare for their journey.
This snapshot of early 20th century transportation provides a glimpse into a bygone era when horse-drawn carriages were still a common mode of travel. The closure of the railway in 1922 marked the end of an era, making this photo even more precious as it captures a moment frozen in time.
Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply appreciate vintage charm, this print is sure to evoke feelings of nostalgia and wonder at how much has changed since that fateful day in 1905. Transport yourself back to simpler times with this delightful piece from Mary Evans Prints Online.
