EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, showcasing the enchanting Victorian era in the picturesque village of Chagford, Devon, England. The image transports us to an era of elegance and charm, as we gaze upon the quaint mill nestled alongside the tranquil water, its waterwheel turning gently in the background. The Victorian period, marked by the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, was a time of significant social, cultural, and technological advancements. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, captures the essence of this bygone era with striking clarity. The mill, with its old, weathered walls and ivy-covered exterior, is a testament to the rich history of Chagford's industrial past. The water, cascading over the mill's weir, adds a sense of motion and life to the scene. The Edwardian era, which followed the Victorian period, is also evident in this photograph, with the early 20th-century clothing and accessories worn by the villagers. The women, dressed in long, flowing skirts and high collars, and the men in tailored suits and bowlers, add an air of sophistication and refinement to the image. This vintage photograph is a rare and precious glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a Victorian village in Devon. It is a reminder of the simple pleasures and close-knit communities that once thrived in this beautiful corner of England.
