EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "A Slate Quarry Velocipede, Llanberis, Wales," is a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the late Victorian or early Edwardian era. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a unique scene in a slate quarry located in the picturesque village of Llanberis, Wales. The photograph's central focus is a velocipede, an early form of bicycle, making its way along a narrow, rocky path within the quarry. The velocipede, with its large front wheel and smaller rear wheel, is an iconic symbol of the late 19th century, representing the dawn of personal transportation and the growing trend towards recreational activities. The quarry, surrounded by towering slate cliffs, adds an industrial and rugged backdrop to the scene. The workers in the photograph, dressed in heavy clothing and hats, are busy at work, extracting slate from the quarry, providing a stark contrast to the leisurely pace of the velocipede rider. The photograph's composition is further enhanced by the use of a lantern slide, which adds to the antiquated feel and creates a sense of nostalgia. The dimly lit quarry, with its rough, textured walls, is illuminated by the lantern, casting long, dramatic shadows and highlighting the intricate details of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Wales' slate industry and the diverse ways in which people found enjoyment and leisure during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. It is a captivating reminder of a bygone era, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of industry and recreation.
