Lynmouth, The Village from the Quay 1860 - 1894

"Lynmouth, The Village from the Quay" is a striking black and white photograph taken by Francis Bedford between 1860 and 1894. The image captures a picturesque village nestled at the foot of a towering hill, with a small river snaking its way through the scene. Bedford's attention to detail is evident in the portrayal of boats moored along the riverbank, and the cobblestone path leading into the village. The photograph, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, stands as a testament to Bedford's expertise in capturing the serene beauty of the English countryside.
