EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful vintage lantern slide depicts the picturesque village of Onchan, located on the eastern coast of the Isle of Man. The image transports us back in time, with its quaint cottages adorned with colorful flowers and lush greenery. Onchan, meaning 'winding water' in Manx Gaelic, has long been a popular resort town, known for its sandy beaches and tranquil atmosphere. The village's charming character is further emphasized by the horse-drawn carriage making its way through the narrow streets, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The horse, dressed in a fine harness, appears alert and attentive, while the passengers seem to be enjoying the scenic ride. The inclusion of the church in the background, with its tall spire reaching towards the sky, adds a sense of history and tradition to the image. The surrounding trees and foliage provide a beautiful contrast to the quaint cottages and create an idyllic setting. The lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple pleasures and beauty of life in a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the enduring charm of Onchan village and the Isle of Man, making it a must-have for anyone with an appreciation for history, nostalgia, or the simple joys of rural life.
