EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Westward Ho! Devon's Picturesque Coastline from the Pebble Ridge (circa 1890s)" This Victorian glass lantern slide presents a breathtaking view of the Devon coastline in England, specifically the quaint seaside resort town of Westward Ho! The scene is captured from the pebble ridge, offering a unique perspective of the rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and the vast expanse of the North Atlantic Ocean. The image transports us back to the late 19th century, an era marked by romanticism and a growing appreciation for the natural beauty of the British Isles. The intricately detailed glass lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection, showcases the rich hues of the setting sun casting long shadows over the landscape, with the gentle waves crashing against the shoreline. Westward Ho!, a popular tourist destination even during the Victorian era, is named after a line in Sir Walter Scott's novel "The Fair Maid of the West." The town's name, coupled with its picturesque charm, attracted visitors seeking relaxation and inspiration. The glass lantern slide offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the experiences of those who once marveled at this very same view. The Boswell Collection, which includes this slide, is a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural beauty of Devon and the British coastline during the late 19th century. This glass lantern slide serves as a valuable historical record, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the timeless allure of the Devon coastline.
