EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era in the breathtakingly beautiful Shetland Islands, located off the northern coast of Scotland. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era long past. The image showcases a group of Shetland ponies, their shaggy coats glistening in the soft, natural light. The ponies, with their distinctive curved backs and sturdy build, were a vital part of the island's economy during the Victorian and Edwardian periods. They were used for agriculture, transportation, and even as a source of food. The photograph is further enhanced by the vintage lantern slide background, which adds an extra layer of nostalgia and intrigue. The scene is set in the early 1900s, as evidenced by the period clothing worn by the people in the background. The women are dressed in elegant Victorian gowns, their parasols shielding them from the sun. Men, wearing tweed jackets and caps, work in the fields, tending to the land and livestock. The Shetland Islands, with their rugged coastlines, rolling hills, and picturesque villages, were a popular destination for tourists during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the islanders and their beloved ponies during that time. The image is a testament to the rich history and culture of the Shetland Islands and serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and beauty that can be found in the past. This vintage photograph is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing us with a window into a bygone era.
