EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of the Bablock Hythe Ferry on the River Thames, captured during the late Victorian era of the 19th century. The serene and picturesque scene showcases the simplicity and charm of river transportation during this period. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era long past, where the world moved at a slower pace. The vintage lantern slide depicts a small, flat-bottomed ferry boat, skillfully maneuvered by an unseen oarsman, as it makes its way across the tranquil waters of the River Thames. The boat is dwarfed by the towering trees and lush greenery that line the banks, creating a sense of harmony between nature and human ingenuity. The boats in the foreground, with their elegant, curved lines and intricate details, add to the overall charm of the scene. The Edwardian-era era is reflected in the elegant dresses and hats worn by the passengers, who seem to be enjoying a leisurely day on the river. The early 20th century was a time when the world was still enamored with the romance of the waterways, and this image beautifully encapsulates that spirit. The Bablock Hythe Ferry, though not a well-known name in the annals of history, serves as a reminder of the importance of local transportation and the role it played in connecting communities during the 19th century. This vintage photograph is not only a visual delight but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into a time when life was simpler, and the world was a more intimate place.
