EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from the late Victorian era of the 19th century, transports us back in time to an age of daring adventure and exploration. Titled "Climbing Great Gable - Eagle's Nest Arete," the image showcases a group of intrepid mountaineers making their ascent up the iconic Great Gable mountain in the Lake District, England. The mountain, located in the heart of the English Lake District National Park, is renowned for its rugged terrain and challenging climbing routes. The mountaineers, dressed in the fashionable attire of the Edwardian period, are making their way up the Eagle's Nest Arete, a narrow and exposed ridge known for its challenging climbing conditions. The group is led by a skilled mountaineer, who expertly navigates the treacherous terrain with a lantern in hand, providing illumination for the group as they make their way up the mountain. The serene lake below, shimmering in the sunlight, adds a sense of tranquility to the otherwise daunting scene. This photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone with an interest in the history of mountaineering and adventure. The collection offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness firsthand the courage and determination of these early climbers as they conquered the peaks of the Lake District during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
