EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the 19th century and experience the thrill of mountaineering during the Victorian era with this photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage image transports us back in time to the late Victorian and Edwardian eras when the sport of mountaineering gained immense popularity. The photograph, titled "Climbing Skew Gill," showcases a group of intrepid mountaineers making their way up a steep and rocky incline by the side of a serene lake. The breathtaking landscape of Cumbria, England, serves as the backdrop for their daring ascent. Each climber is focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the concentration and courage required to scale the rugged terrain. The mountaineers are dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, with their heavy woolen coats, sturdy boots, and wide-brimmed hats. They carry lanterns, likely to light their way as they ascend, adding an element of mystery and adventure to the scene. The lanterns also serve as a reminder of the challenges faced by mountaineers during this era, when the technology for lighting and safety equipment was still rudimentary. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of exploration and adventure that characterized the Victorian period. It invites us to imagine the sense of accomplishment and camaraderie felt by these early climbers as they reached the summit, overlooking the stunning vistas of the Lake District. With its rich historical context and evocative imagery, this print is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of mountaineering or the Victorian era.
