EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting coastal town of Ilfracombe in 1896. The artist, ED Percival, skillfully captures an elevated view from Hillsborough, offering a breathtaking aerial perspective of this historic location. The image showcases the picturesque landscape of Ilfracombe with its charming harbor nestled between headlands and hills. Sailboats gracefully glide across the tranquil sea, adding a touch of serenity to the scene. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to the photograph, allowing us to appreciate the beauty of this bygone era. Ilfracombe's rich literary history is also evident in this image as it was featured in "Pictorial England and Wales" a renowned book published by Cassell and Company Ltd during that time. This print serves as a visual representation of British seaside resorts popularized in literature during the 19th century. As we gaze upon this vintage vista, we are transported back in time to experience Devon's natural wonders and coastal charm. The fence along Hillsborough provides a frame for nature's masterpiece while emphasizing the idyllic countryside surrounding Ilfracombe. This print is not only an artistic representation but also serves as a historical document capturing an important moment in English geography and transportation history. It reminds us of how landscapes evolve over time while still retaining their inherent beauty.
