EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Kirkstone Pass in the Lake District, as it appeared in 1929. The vintage photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era long past, filled with the charm and elegance of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The winding and picturesque Kirkstone Pass, located in the heart of the Lake District National Park, is bathed in the soft, ethereal light of a bygone era. The pass, known for its stunning views and challenging terrain, is a favorite among tourists and locals alike. In this photograph, the pass is adorned with the crisp, golden leaves of autumn, adding an extra layer of beauty to the already breathtaking landscape. The image also captures the essence of a charabanc or bus trip, a popular mode of transportation during the early 20th century. The charabanc, with its open-top design, allows the passengers to fully appreciate the breathtaking views as they make their way over the pass. The passengers, dressed in their finest attire, seem to be fully immersed in the experience, their faces filled with wonder and excitement. The photograph also showcases the simplicity and charm of the era, with the absence of modern technology and commercialization. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting images during the time, adds to the nostalgic feel of the image. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of the Lake District in the 1920s, and serves as a reminder of the simpler times that once were.
