Photographic travel journal of Yorkshire.

1936réf. 136472Yorkshire: September 1936. York - that city of much longing A detailed travel journal illustrated with atmospheric images of churches abbeys cathedrals and the countryside of Yorkshire. Impressive views of Gothic landmarks such as Whitby and Fountains abbeys are accompanied by snapshots of the traveller's lodgings many from their window. The unnamed writer originated from Lowestoft and was accompanied by their father. They were evidently a keen explorer of English landmarks; they make several references to other trips - such as to Ely Salisbury and Shaftesbury - and comment on the differences between hotels and landscapes. The narrative is richly detailed comprising architectural technicalities including a hand-drawn plan of Rievaulx Abbey humorous asides "Fancy having Corinthian pillars in one's hall!" and charming encounters "I noticed a family on a tandem with the baby in a little side car". Some of the most evocative passages describe night: "Night has a peculiar glamour especially when the place is unknown. I lay and listened to a variety of church bells chiming the hours and always the deep low note of the minster a little late. I rose early and saw the minster from my window soft and beautiful in the early sun sunlight". The narrative describes the taking of the photographs: "Got up early and stole away to photograph. My tripod created great interest among the inhabitants of Whitby". Sixteen are of Rievaulx described as "a beautiful setting which makes pictures at all angles". The author was nevertheless blighted by the unpredictable photographic process describing their snaps at Aysgarth Falls as "as usual underexposed". The sites describe and photographed include York Minster Bootham Bar Selby Abbey St Mary's Church Whitby Caedmon Cross Helmsley Byland Abbey Newburgh Priory Ripon Cathedral Bolton Abbey and Lincoln Cathedral.
