EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the late Victorian era of the 19th century, transports us back in time to The Citadel in Carlisle during the early days of the Edwardian period. The Citadel, a historic fortification located in the heart of Carlisle, England, has stood as a symbol of strength and resilience for centuries. In this vintage image, the red sandstone walls of the Citadel are bathed in the soft glow of twilight, casting long shadows across the cobblestone streets. The fortress, once a formidable military stronghold, now stands as a tranquil reminder of the past. The Victorian-era lantern, positioned at the entrance, adds an intriguing touch to the scene, its warm light illuminating the path ahead. The Citadel, with its imposing presence, is a testament to the architectural prowess of the time. The intricate details of the fortress walls, the ornate ironwork, and the meticulously crafted windows, all come together to create a breathtaking tableau. The photograph, taken from a slightly elevated vantage point, offers a panoramic view of the Citadel, allowing us to fully appreciate its grandeur. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a precious reminder of the rich history and architectural beauty of the past. It invites us to pause and reflect on the stories that the Citadel of Carlisle has witnessed throughout the ages, making it a must-have for any history or architecture enthusiast's collection.
