EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history from the mid-19th century in Blackpool, Lancashire. The image shows a group of elegantly dressed ladies being conducted for a shore excursion in a donkey-cart. Blackpool had already established itself as a popular holiday resort by this time, and the use of donkeys for transportation was common along the sandy shores.
The scene is filled with charm and nostalgia, offering a glimpse into the leisurely activities enjoyed by Victorian-era vacationers. The women appear relaxed and content as they are led along the beachfront in their unique mode of transport.
The donkeys themselves add an element of whimsy to the photograph, showcasing the quaint traditions of seaside resorts during this period. Their gentle demeanor and sturdy build make them ideal companions for such excursions.
Overall, this print serves as a reminder of simpler times when holidaymakers would flock to coastal towns like Blackpool to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. It is a snapshot of history that transports viewers back to an era when leisurely strolls along the shore were taken at a more leisurely pace, accompanied by charming four-legged friends.
