EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating postcard published by the renowned photographer, postcard publisher, and mountaineer, George Perry Abraham, in 1922. This vintage postcard transports us back to the 1910s and 1920s, offering a glimpse into the past of travel and transportation in the picturesque Lake District of Cumbria, England. The image showcases a steep and winding mountain road, known as Buttermere Hause, leading up to the breathtaking Lake Buttermere. A horse-drawn coach makes its way up the gradient, its passengers gazing out at the stunning scenery around them. The coach, with its high wheels and ornate design, is a testament to the era's elegance and charm. The Lake District, with its rugged landscapes and natural beauty, has long been a popular destination for tourists seeking adventure and relaxation. In the early 20th century, travel to these remote areas was often a challenge, requiring the use of horse-drawn coaches or hiking on foot. George Perry Abraham's postcard captures the spirit of this bygone era, where the journey was as much a part of the experience as the destination itself. The postcard's muted colors and intricate details add to its timeless appeal, making it a cherished keepsake for collectors and history enthusiasts. This photograph, taken by a man who was not only a skilled photographer but also an accomplished mountaineer, offers a unique perspective on the Lake District's history and the enduring allure of its natural beauty. Coaching up Buttermere Hause is a testament to the past, a reminder of a time when travel was an adventure and the journey was as important as the destination. This postcard invites us to imagine ourselves in the coach, taking in the breathtaking views of the Lake District and experiencing the thrill of the journey.
