EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Cyclists, Charing Hill, Ashford," is a stunning snapshot of a group of intrepid cyclists making their way up the challenging Charing Hill in Ashford, England, during the late Victorian or Edwardian era. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era when cycling was a popular pastime and a symbol of modernity and freedom. The photograph showcases a picturesque scene of several cyclists, dressed in period attire, tackling the steep incline of Charing Hill on their bicycles. The riders, with determined expressions on their faces, are making their way up the hill, their bicycle wheels spinning in unison as they pedal against the resistance of the incline. The scene is further enriched by the presence of a lantern slide at the base of the hill, which would have been used to project the image onto a screen for entertainment purposes during lantern slide shows, a popular form of home entertainment during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of cycling as a means of transportation and recreation, and the determination and perseverance of the cyclists in overcoming the challenges of the terrain. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history of cycling in Ashford and the surrounding areas, and the role that this humble mode of transportation played in shaping the social and cultural landscape of the time.
