EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken circa 1900s, depicts a group of carefree children playing on a stone bridge in Dartmoor, Devonshire, England. The image transports us back in time to an era of innocence and simple joys. Dressed in clothing reminiscent of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the children, both boys and girls, engage in a lively game, their laughter echoing through the picturesque landscape. The boys, with their short trousers and caps, and the girls, in their dresses and bonnets, embody the charm of childhood during this period. The bridge, made of rough-hewn stones, arches gracefully over a babbling brook, adding to the idyllic setting. The children seem undisturbed by the passing lantern-lit carriage, which only adds to the sense of nostalgia and wonder. The lantern, a common means of illumination during this time, casts a warm, inviting glow over the scene. This photograph, from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, is a testament to the beauty and simplicity of childhood in the early 1900s. It invites us to pause and reflect on the timeless nature of play and the enduring spirit of youth.
