Moonlight Over the Cobbles
There is a specific kind of magic in early 20th-century "moonlight" postcards. This piece from the "Chic" Series (Charles Worcester & Co., Bristol) isn’t just a photo; it’s an atmosphere.
Elmer Keene’s depiction of Clovelly High Street captures the village's vertical soul. The steep, sledge-only cobbles, the pack donkeys waiting in the shadows, and the New Inn standing as a beacon for weary travelers. It feels less like a tourist destination and more like a scene from a Victorian ghost story.
