EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting vintage photograph of Branscombe, Devon, taken around 1888. The idyllic scene captures the essence of rural life during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, with its picturesque thatched cottages, lush green fields, and winding country lane. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of simple pleasures and tranquility. The image was likely captured using a lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting photographs during this period. Branscombe, a charming coastal village nestled in East Devon, England, is known for its stunning beaches, quaint cottages, and rich history. The village's name is derived from the Old English words "bran" meaning "raven" and "combe" meaning "valley," reflecting its rugged and beautiful landscape. The photograph shows a peaceful and unspoiled village scene, with horses and carts making their way along the winding lane, while children play in the foreground. The thatched cottages, with their ivy-covered walls and chimneys, exude a sense of warmth and homeliness. The rolling hills and verdant fields in the background add to the sense of tranquility and rural charm. This photograph is a rare and precious glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a rural community during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and beauty of the natural world, untouched by the modern conveniences and distractions of the present day.
