1. Title: "A Glance Up the Hill: A Victorian View of Clovelly's Cobbled Street" This Victorian glass lantern slide, hailing from the Boswell Collection, transports us back in time to the quaint fishing village of Clovelly in Devon, England, during the late 1890s. The image showcases a picturesque scene of a cobblestone street, with its steep incline leading upwards, inviting us to explore the history and charm of this charming Western English hamlet. The village of Clovelly, nestled along the rugged North Devon coastline, has long been renowned for its unique character and rich history. This photograph, taken during the Victorian era, highlights the narrow, winding street that is synonymous with the village. The cobblestones, worn smooth by centuries of use, glisten under the sunlight, while the quaint, whitewashed cottages cling to the hillside, their ivy-covered walls adding to the village's enchanting allure. The scene is further enhanced by the absence of modern vehicles and the simple, rustic carts that grace the street. The villagers, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen going about their daily business, adding a touch of authenticity to the image. As we gaze up the hill, the street seems to stretch on endlessly, inviting us to discover the secrets and stories hidden within the folds of this historic village. This glass lantern slide, with its intricate detail and stunning preservation, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and charm of Clovelly as it was in the late 1800s. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of this quaint Devonshire village and the captivating history that lies within its walls.
