EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the late 19th century, transports us back in time to the Edwardian era and the breathtaking Lake District in England. The image showcases the daring exploits of climbers ascending Eagle's Nest Arete on Great Gable, a challenging and iconic rock formation. The rugged terrain, with its craggy peaks and deep crevices, presents a formidable backdrop to the intrepid adventurers. Dressed in bulky clothing and donning harnesses, the climbers appear focused and determined as they make their way up the narrow, exposed ridge. The photograph captures a moment of suspense, as the lead climber delicately places his foot on the next hold, while his companion waits patiently below, ready to offer support. The vast expanse of the Lake District stretches out before them, with its rolling hills, tranquil lakes, and verdant forests, offering a stark contrast to the rugged, unforgiving terrain they have chosen to conquer. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the spirit of adventure that defined the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image, taken using a lantern slide, captures the essence of a bygone era, when the pursuit of the great outdoors and the thrill of overcoming physical challenges were at the heart of the human experience.
