EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the reverend James Marshall Mather, a prolific Victorian author, in a contemplative moment amidst the picturesque landscapes of Rossendale, Lancashire. The image, taken in the early Edwardian era, showcases Mather's thoughtful demeanor as he pauses during one of his famous 'rambles' through the English countryside. Born in 1835, Mather was a man of many talents, serving as a clergyman, poet, and writer. He is best known for his works on natural history, literature, and religion, which reflected his deep connection to the natural world and his spiritual beliefs. Mather's writings were widely popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and his works continue to be appreciated for their insightful commentary on the human condition and the beauty of the natural world. In this photograph, Mather is depicted wearing a long, flowing coat and a hat, carrying a walking stick and a book, as he takes in the breathtaking views of the Rossendale Valley. The rolling hills, lush greenery, and clear blue skies provide a serene backdrop for Mather's introspective reflection, underscoring the deep connection between the author and the natural world that inspired his works. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this photograph is sourced, is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Victorian and Edwardian literature and culture. This image of Rev. James Marshall Mather offers a rare glimpse into the life of a man whose writings continue to resonate with readers more than a century after they were first published.
