EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian glass lantern slide presents a breathtaking view of Okehampton, a historic market town nestled in the heart of Devon, western England. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, as we take in the picturesque landscape before us. Okehampton, a town steeped in history, is situated on the River Okement and is surrounded by the rolling hills and lush greenery of the Devon countryside. In this photograph, we see the town's quaint buildings, many of which date back to the medieval period, huddled together against the backdrop of the rugged, wooded hills. The town's ancient castle, a prominent feature of the townscape, stands proudly atop a hill, its imposing walls and towers a testament to the town's rich history. The scene is bathed in the soft, warm light of a late afternoon sun, casting long shadows across the landscape and adding an ethereal quality to the image. The clouds in the sky are tinged with the rich colors of the setting sun, while the trees in the foreground are ablaze with autumn hues, their leaves turning shades of gold, orange, and red. This glass lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the beauty of nature was a constant source of inspiration. The intricately detailed glass slide, with its rich colors and sharp contrasts, invites us to explore the history and charm of Okehampton and the surrounding countryside in Devon, western England.
