EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned Victorian photographer Francis Bedford, captures the quintessential charm of Clovelly, a historic fishing village nestled in the heart of Devon, England. The cobbled street, steep and narrow, winds its way up the hill, lined with whitewashed cottages and traditional thatched roofs. At the foot of the hill, a donkey patiently waits, its burden of goods secured, as it rests on the uneven cobbles. Above, a woman in Victorian attire engages in animated conversation with a man on the terrace of the New Inn, a public house that has been a staple of the community for centuries. The New Inn, with its inviting sign and warm glow, beckons to weary travelers and locals alike, offering respite and refreshment. The scene is a snapshot of life in Clovelly during the Victorian era, a time when donkeys were still an essential mode of transportation in this hillside village. Bedford's masterful composition and use of light and shadow transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the unique character and charm of this picturesque village.
