EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of The Briggate, Leeds during the Victorian period. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us to an era of horse-drawn carriages, trams, and gas-lit lanterns. The Briggate, a major shopping thoroughfare in Leeds, England, is bustling with activity. Horse-drawn carriages line the cobblestone streets, their drivers eagerly awaiting passengers. In the foreground, a horse-drawn tram makes its way down the street, its tracks glinting in the gas light. The Victorian architecture of the buildings is on full display, with intricate details and ornate designs. The early Edwardian era is reflected in the fashion of the people in the photograph. Women can be seen wearing high-collared dresses and large hats, while men wear suits and top hats. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with shoppers browsing the windows of the various stores and vendors selling their wares on the sidewalks. The gas-lit lanterns add a warm, inviting glow to the scene, casting long shadows on the cobblestone streets. The horse-drawn vehicles and trams add a sense of motion and energy to the photograph, while the Victorian architecture serves as a reminder of the rich history and culture of Leeds during this period. This vintage photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Leeds during the Victorian era. It is a beautiful reminder of the charm and character of this historic English city and the early days of the industrial revolution.
