EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Scottish Highland cattle from the Victorian period, as depicted in The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The Victorian era, marked by Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901, was a period of significant cultural, artistic, and industrial growth in Britain. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rural landscapes and traditional farming practices of Scotland during this era. The Scottish Highland cattle, with their distinctive long horns, shaggy coats, and hump, are a breed native to the Scottish Highlands. They were historically used for their hardiness, strength, and ability to thrive in harsh environments. In this photograph, the cattle are seen grazing peacefully in a lush, green pasture, surrounded by rolling hills and a clear, blue sky. The photograph is reminiscent of the Edwardian period, which followed the Victorian era and lasted until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. The Edwardian era was characterized by its opulence, elegance, and a sense of optimism and progress. However, this image serves as a reminder that even amidst the grandeur and luxury of the time, the rural farming communities continued to play a vital role in the country's economy and way of life. The photograph is believed to have been captured as a lantern slide, a popular form of entertainment during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Families would gather around a table with a lantern and a slide projector, projecting images onto a white screen, creating a magical and immersive experience. This photograph, with its stunning depiction of Scottish Highland cattle, would have been a captivating addition to such a gathering, transporting viewers to the beautiful and historic landscapes of Scotland.
