Description
Lot of 12 Rare RPPC's by F. Frith & Co.
Grasmere is located in Cumbria, England. Plus Postal accordion photo set.
Photographer F. Frith
Dated: Circa 1920's
Publisher: F. Firth & Co.
Notes & Literature: Grasmere, nestled in England's Lake District, boasts a rich history and a touch of the fantastical. Settlements date back centuries, but the village truly thrived during the medieval period, known for its sheep farming and slate quarrying. Legends abound, with tales of a giant named Helm who left behind the Helm Cragg mountain after a failed attempt to steal a nearby peak. Grasmere's most famous chapter arrived in the late 18th century when William Wordsworth, a pillar of Romanticism, settled in Dove Cottage. Inspired by the stunning scenery and imbued with local folklore, Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy penned poems that forever linked Grasmere to the beauty and emotions of nature.
