EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image from Selby, Yorkshire, in the early 1900s, as captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage photograph, likely taken using a lantern slide, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, Victorian and Edwardian fashion, and simple, rural charm. The quaint town of Selby, located in the heart of Yorkshire, England, is depicted in all its early 20th-century glory. The image showcases a bustling high street, with horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians going about their daily business. The cobblestone streets are lined with shops and houses, their facades adorned with intricate brickwork and ornate details. In the foreground, a man in a top hat and overcoat stands near a horse-drawn carriage, perhaps waiting for a ride or helping to load goods. A woman in a voluminous Edwardian dress and bonnet walks along the sidewalk, her parasol shielding her from the sun. Children play in the street, their laughter adding to the lively atmosphere. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the town's residents. Laundry hangs from the lines, while a man in the background tends to a horse. The scene is completed by the tall, imposing church spire in the distance, a reminder of the strong spiritual connection that bound communities together during this time. This image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures and daily routines of life in Selby, Yorkshire, during the early 1900s.
