EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Northampton The Drapery, a beloved local establishment in Northampton, England, during the early 1900s. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant and bustling atmosphere of this Victorian and Edwardian era shop. Northampton The Drapery was a renowned purveyor of textiles and fine fabrics, attracting customers from near and far with its extensive selection of high-quality goods. In this image, we see the shop's exterior adorned with intricate wooden paneling, ornate signage, and a striking display of fabrics and textiles. The large windows allow passersby to catch a glimpse of the beautiful textiles on display, while the awning offers shelter from the elements. The photograph also reveals a lively scene on the pavement outside the shop. A crowd of shoppers, dressed in fashionable Victorian and Edwardian attire, can be seen browsing the displays, engaging in animated conversation, and even haggling with the shopkeeper. The horse-drawn carriage in the foreground adds to the sense of history and tradition, while the modern bicycle leaning against the wall hints at the gradual shift towards more modern modes of transportation. This photograph is a treasure trove of historical detail, providing a fascinating insight into the daily life and commerce of Northampton during the early 1900s. It invites us to imagine the stories and experiences of the people in the image, and to appreciate the rich history and character of this beloved local institution.
