EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian glass lantern slide presents a breathtaking view of Vixen Tor on Dartmoor in Devon, Western England. Dating back to the late 1890s, this historical artifact is part of the Boswell Collection, box 204. The image captures the rugged beauty of the moorland landscape, with Vixen Tor standing proudly in the center. The tor, a granite hill formation, is named after the mythical creature, the Vixen, a shape-shifting witch said to inhabit Dartmoor. The tor's distinctive features, including its jagged peaks and mossy outcrops, are accentuated by the soft, ethereal light filtering through the glass lantern. The scene is completed by the vast expanse of heather-covered moorland stretching out in the background. This lantern slide offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the late 19th century when people marveled at the natural wonders of their surroundings. The intricate details of the image, from the individual blades of grass to the textured rocks, are a testament to the skill of the photographer and the technology of the time. Today, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of the rich history and natural beauty of Devon and Dartmoor.
