EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and experience the enchanting scene of Victorian-era skaters gliding across the frozen surface of Derwentwater in this photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available at Mary Evans Prints Online. Located in the picturesque Lake District of Cumbria, England, Derwentwater is one of the most beautiful lakes in the region, known for its serene beauty and stunning vistas. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, during the Victorian and Edwardian periods, the lake became a popular destination for winter recreation, particularly ice skating. This vintage photograph captures the essence of that bygone era, with a group of elegantly dressed men and women gracefully skating on the icy lake, their breath visible in the crisp winter air. The scene is further enhanced by the soft glow of a lantern in the foreground, casting a warm and inviting light on the snow-covered landscape. The photograph, taken in the late Victorian or early Edwardian period, is a testament to the simple pleasures and joys of wintertime in the past. It invites us to imagine the laughter and camaraderie that must have filled the air as these skaters enjoyed a day on the ice, free from the distractions and stresses of modern life. Whether used as a decorative piece in a vintage-inspired home, or as a conversation starter in a historical exhibit, this photograph is a beautiful reminder of a time when life moved more slowly, and the simple pleasures of nature were cherished and celebrated.
